------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Seq Scan on project  (cost=1476573.93..1476575.05 rows=5 width=183)
   Filter: (NOT (hashed SubPlan 1))
   SubPlan 1
     ->  Seq Scan on intermineobject  (cost=0.00..1410720.74 rows=26341274 
width=4)
(4 rows)

This query plan seems to me to be a little slow. Surely it could iterate through the ten project rows and perform ten index lookups in the big table?
