Please try that experiment with all three configurations on both
versions:
        * autovacuum off
        * autovacuum on, autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay = 0
        * autovacuum on, autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay = 20
Comparing apples and oranges isn't real helpful in determining
what's happening.

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
