Hi

I am investigating migrating from postgres 743 to postgres 826 but
although the performance in postgres 826 seems to be generally better
there are some instances where it seems to be markedly worse, a factor
of up to 10. The problem seems to occur when I join to more than 4
tables. Has anyone else experienced anything similar or got any
suggestions as to what I might do? I am running on an intel box with two
hyper threaded cores and 4GB of RAM. I have tweaked the postgres.conf
files with these values and the query and explain output are below. In
this case the query takes 6.037 ms to run on 862 and 2.332 to run on 743.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards
Matthew
