You seem to be under a misapprehension. The cost estimates are not
in units of milliseconds, they are on an arbitrary scale with 1.0
defined as one disk fetch.
LIMIT throws another monkey wrench into the mix: the estimates for the
plan nodes underneath the limit are done as if the plan were to be
executed to completion, which of course it won't be.
