Isn't it perhaps a little confusing that "Planning time" may well
exceed "Total runtime"? I'm aware that we aren't super clear on the
accounting here generally, as with pg_stat_statements, which doesn't
include planning time in total_time, while we aren't even explicit
about that in the documentation. But even still, seeing the two
side-by-side, with planning time > total runtime did give me pause.
