[ADMIN] Queries are taking way longer in 9.6 than 9.5

Hi,

We have recently upgraded to 9.6 and few queries are performing very poorly. Query execution time has increased more 4 or 5 times in 9.6. Qeruy execution plan is also completely changed. I am not sure whether its because of Parallel feature or any bug in 9.6. There are few similar kind of queries and all of them are taking more time in 9.6.

Following query is taking 70ms in 9.5 and the same query is taking 2 minutes in 9.6. Execution plan is totally different in 9.6 and seems like there is a major flaw while generating the execution plan. Instead of filtering the low cardinality, its filtering from biggest table. Somehow nested loop joins are screwed up.

I really appreciate your help.
