I run on PostgreSQL 8.3, default settings (also tried to change random_page_cost close to 1). What need I change to make the second query run as fast as the first? Set enable_hashjoin to off solves this problem, but it's not the way I can use.
Statistics for all columns is on the level 1000.

from c
 join i on i.c_id = c.id
