Tom,
Thanks for the considered advice and insights. My takeaway is that
based on what I've said,you are mostly unsurprised by the results I
see. In the longer term, the number of rows will increase but I will
have to ponder options for the immediate future. I'll have a play with
the knobs you suggested and will report back with anything of note.
One last thought about TOAST. If the cost of the -> retrieving the
data cannot be obviated, is there any way to tweak how that works?
See:

and from there:

Search for SET STORAGE.
It might help with(from Tom Lane):
"Unfortunately the planner doesn't account
for detoasting costs when making such estimates, ..."
but probably not much with:
" ...because anything at all that you do with
that big JSONB column is going to be expensive. (Another thing
that's been on the to-do list for awhile is enabling partial
retrieval of large JSONB values, but AFAIK that hasn't happened
yet either.)
Thanks, Shaheed
