Re: OFFSET impact on Performance???

Although larger offsets have some effect, your real problem is the sort
(of 42693 rows).

Try:

SELECT r.id_order
FROM report r
WHERE r.id_order IN
(SELECT id
FROM orders
WHERE id_status = 6
ORDER BY 1
LIMIT 10 OFFSET 1000)
ORDER BY 1

The subquery doesn't *have* to sort because the table is already ordered
on the primary key.
You can still add a join to orders outside the subselect without
significant cost.

Incidentally, I don't know how you got the first plan - it should
include a sort as well.
