which version?

I have 8.1 and on a table with 1.9 million records i got:


scholl=# explain analyse select * from bde_meldungen limit 10;
                                                         QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Limit  (cost=0.00..0.34 rows=10 width=157) (actual time=19.570..19.660 rows=10 
loops=1)
   ->  Seq Scan on bde_meldungen  (cost=0.00..65748.33 rows=1957933 width=157) 
(actual time=19.565..19.587 rows=10 loops=1)
 Total runtime: 19.845 ms
(3 rows)


If I remember correctly, since 8.0 or 8.1 we have a massive improvement with
LIMIT.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
