Some else mentioned ANALYZE (or is it ANALYSE?). Anyway,
I seem to remember reading someplace that with newer versions
of PostgreSQL, when you used to VACUUM on a regular basis,
you were supposed to change over to VACUUM ANALYSE (ANALYZE?)
some (all?) of the time. My memory is fuzzy about this,
so perhaps the docs will have something on this.
