Can you alter the data representation? 7.4 doesn't have any stats about
functional indexes and so it's not likely to come up with a good number
about the selectivity of the index on ms_t(tick). It might be worth
materializing that value as a plain column and indexing the column.
(This being a join, I'm not sure it would help any, but it seems worth
trying.)
