You're comparing two very different systems it seems, therefore you might be
looking at difference in the performance of EXPLAIN, just getting timing
information of your system may be the most expensive part[1], you could disable
the timing explicity:
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE ON, TIMING OFF) <query>
And, there is something that stands out:
So it seems there is also some difference in the data, we could validate the
actual numbers:
SELECT sum(pg_column_size(symbols_tests))/count(*) FROM symbols_tests;
