What have you got work_mem set to? The hash join is not going to be
real fast if it has to split the join into multiple batches, so you
want work_mem large enough to hold the whole inner relation. That would
be at least 20MB in this example, probably quite a bit more after
allowing for per-row overhead in the table.
