At least for this example, the problem is that the DELETE enormously
alters the statistics for the t1_log.tuple column (going from 100% "NEW"
to 50% "NEW" and 50% "OLD"), but the plan for your last command is
generated with stats saying there are no "OLD" entries.  So you get a plan
that would be fast for small numbers of "OLD" entries, but it sucks when
there are lots of them.  The fix I would recommend is to do a manual
"ANALYZE t1_log" after such a large data change.  Auto-ANALYZE would fix
it for you after a minute or so, probably, but if your script doesn't want
to wait around then an extra ANALYZE is the ticket.
