For me with an empty table this query takes 4 seconds to plan, is that the expected planning time? I know I've got nine table queries that don't take that long. Setting geqo_threshold less than 9, it takes 1 second to plan. Does this indicate that geqo_threshold is set too high, or is it a tradeoff between planning time and plan quality? If the planning time is so high because the are a large number of possible join orders, should geqo_threhold be based on the number of possible plans somehow instead of the number of tables involved?
