Thanks Tom, I think you're right. I just did an analyze on table test1 and the 
execution plan now generated is more stable and predictable.

Thanks,
Suya

No, the point is that the bad rowcount estimate (and, possibly, lack of stats 
about join column contents) causes the planner to pick a join method that's not 
ideal for this query.
