If you are going to show a number for these steps, which seems like a good idea, then this seems like a reasonable option in the face of this situation. Basically two options: 1. Query overhead timing detailed separately 2. Query overhead included with first plans' planning time An explain option: (OVERHEAD '[off?|detail|first]') would then give the user the ability to choose between the two (not sure if off is worthwhile but worth at least rejecting explicitly).
