Could you supply an EXPLAIN ANALYZE of the fast plan as an
attachment, for comparison?

Anyway, it looks like at least one big problem is the bad estimate
on how many rows will be generated by joining to the users5_ table:

> (actual time=1.374..517.662 rows=122850 loops=1)

If it had expected 122850 rows to qualify for that join, it probably
would have picked a different plan.

I just reread your original email, and I'm not sure I understand
what you meant regarding VACUUM ANALYZE. If you run that right
beforehand, do you still get the slow plan for user 10?
