Tom- I don't really have time to follow up at this moment, but I think this would be interesting to look into, so I'll plan to dig into it over the Thanksgiving Holiday when I'll have a little time free to follow up on some fun projects. Your pointers should let me get into it pretty quickly. In the meantime, I'll just set up a cron job that runs behind my nightly analyze to put the correct numbers into pg_statistic on the tables that this affects.
