Just an update here. I did downgrade postgres on testbox to 8.4.8 and now it's choosing bad plan there too. So we upgraded postgres on production server and the bad plan went away. We're preparing for upgrade to 9.1 now, we hope to offload some of the SELECTs to the slave server, we'll see how that will work. Thank you for your inputs!

Here is the 'explain analyze' from the other server: QUERY PLAN -- Limit (cost=31531.75..31531.80 rows=21 width=275) (actual time=45.584..45.584 rows=0 loops=1) -> Sort (cost=31531.75..31531.84 rows=36 width=275) (actual time=45.579..45.579 rows=0 loops=1) Sort Key: tubesite_object.pub_date Sort Method: quicksort Memory: 25kB -> Hash Join (cost=866.34..31530.82 rows=36 width=275) (actual time=45.544..45.544 rows=0 loops=1) Hash Cond: (tubesite_object.id = tubesite_image.object_ptr_id) -> Bitmap Heap Scan on tubesite_object (cost=606.11..31146.68 rows=9884 width=271) (actual time=6.861..37.497 rows=9905 loops=1) Recheck Cond: (site_id = 8) -> Bitmap Index Scan on tubesite_object_site_id (cost=0.00..603.64 rows=9884 width=0) (actual time=4.792..4.792 rows=9905 loops=1) Index Cond: (site_id = 8) -> Hash (cost=152.88..152.88 rows=8588 width=4) (actual time=3.816..3.816 rows=8588 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on tubesite_image (cost=0.00..152.88 rows=8588 width=4) (actual time=0.003..1.740 rows=8588 loops=1) Total runtime: 45.798 ms This is also a query from the prod server, but without LIMIT: Sort (cost=31713.95..31735.42 rows=8588 width=275) (actual time=60.311..60.311 rows=0 loops=1) Sort Key: tubesite_object.pub_date Sort Method: quicksort Memory: 25kB -> Hash Join (cost=857.00..31152.80 rows=8588 width=275) (actual time=60.255..60.255 rows=0 loops=1) Hash Cond: (tubesite_object.id = tubesite_image.object_ptr_id) -> Bitmap Heap Scan on tubesite_object (cost=596.77..30685.30 rows=9711 width=271) (actual time=8.682..49.721 rows=9905 loops=1) Recheck Cond: (site_id = 8) -> Bitmap Index Scan on tubesite_object_site_id (cost=0.00..594.34 rows=9711 width=0) (actual time=5.705..5.705 rows=9905 loops=1) Index Cond: (site_id = 8) -> Hash (cost=152.88..152.88 rows=8588 width=4) (actual time=4.281..4.281 rows=8588 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on tubesite_image (cost=0.00..152.88 rows=8588 width=4) (actual time=0.005..1.437 rows=8588 loops=1) Total runtime: 60.483 ms (12 rows) I will try to rsync prod database to 8.4.8 on test server tomorrow, and see what happens.

They do, I guess. I did rsync postgres datadir from the prod server to the test server. The only difference is that prod server was a bit more loaded than the test server.

But both servers develop that estimate for the join size. I was wondering more about whether the costing factors were really the same: slow: -> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..792824.51 rows=8588 width=275) (actual time=3269.997..3269.997 rows=0 loops=1) versus fast: -> Hash Join (cost=857.00..31152.80 rows=8588 width=275) (actual time=37.968..37.968 rows=0 loops=1) The hash join path must look more expensive on the first machine, for some reason.

[PERFORM] Different query plans on same servers
I have a fairly simple query:
SELECT
FROM "tubesite_image"
INNER JOIN "tubesite_object"
ON ("tubesite_image"."object_ptr_id" = "tubesite_object"."id")
WHERE
"tubesite_object"."site_id" = 8
ORDER BY
"tubesite_object"."pub_date" ASC LIMIT 21;
That query is having a bad query plan on production server:
Limit (cost=0.00..1938.67 rows=21 width=275) (actual
time=3270.000..3270.000 rows=0 loops=1)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..792824.51 rows=8588 width=275) (actual
time=3269.997..3269.997 rows=0 loops=1)
-> Index Scan using tubesite_object_pub_date_idx on
tubesite_object (cost=0.00..789495.13 rows=9711 width=271) (actual
time=0.011..3243.629 rows=9905 loops=1)
Filter: (site_id = 8)
-> Index Scan using tubesite_image_pkey on tubesite_image
(cost=0.00..0.33 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.002..0.002 rows=0
loops=9905)
Index Cond: (tubesite_image.object_ptr_id =
tubesite_object.id)
Total runtime: 3270.071 ms
But, when I turn off nested loops, the query flies:

I have rsynced the database from the prod server to the test server,
that has same configuration (shared buffers, work mem, estimated cache
size, and so on), and there it chooses bitmap heap scan with hash join
without disabling the nested loops.
I have 8.4.8 on producion and 8.4.9 on test, could that explain the
difference in plans chosen?
