This is not responding to my concern. What you presented was an
advertisement for the cases where the patch is able to find a better
plan. What I want to know about is how much planning time is added
for queries that it's *not* able to improve. EXPLAIN ANALYZE output
doesn't address that point because it doesn't show planning time.
