Row counts are out by a factor of 3, on the low side. so the planner will guess index
is better, which it is.

Planner guesses that 1108 row should be returned, which is out by less, but on the
high side.
Big question is given there are 2M rows, why does returning 1108 rows, less than 1%
result in a sequence scan.
Usually the selectivity on the index is bad, try increasing the stats target on the
column.
I know 8.0 has new stats anaylsis code, which could be effecting how it choses the
plan. But it would still
require a good amount of stats to get it to guess correctly.
Increase stats and see if the times improve.

Did you run this multiple times, or is this the first time. If it had to get the data
off disk it will be slower.
Are you sure that it's coming from disk in this and the 7.4 case? or both from memory.
If 7.4 is from buffer_cache, or kernel_cache, and 8.0 is from disk you are likely to
get A LOT slower.

That should not be an issue in 8.0, at least for the simple type conversions. like
int8 to int4.
I'm not 100% sure which ones were added, and which were not, but the query appears to
cast everything correctly anyway.

Shouldn't and VACUUM FULL ANALYZE will make the table as small as possible. The row
order may be different
on disk, but the planner won't know that, and it's a bad plan causing the problem.
