Thanks Alan, I guessed that the caching was the difference, but I do not
understand why there is a heap scan on the email table? The query seems
to use the email_fts_index correctly, which only takes 6 seconds, why
does it then need to scan the email table?

Sorry If I sound a bit stupid - I am not very experienced with the
analyse statement.
