Nearly identical output

"Nested Loop  (cost=0.00..29624.69 rows=931 width=97) (actual
time=0.032..1330.208 rows=1025401 loops=1)"
"  ->  Seq Scan on customer c  (cost=0.00..25429.10 rows=136 width=71)
(actual time=0.017..212.059 rows=68 loops=1)"
"        Filter: (customer_type = 'DISTRIBUTOR'::bpchar)"
"  ->  Index Scan using rel_parent on customer_rel p  (cost=0.00..30.76
rows=7 width=26) (actual time=0.006..7.732 rows=15079 loops=68)"
"        Index Cond: (parent_customer = c.customer_id)"
"Total runtime: 1544.281 ms"

What happens if you disable, say, nested loops and/or index scans?
