You really ought to provide EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for both versions if
you want intelligent commentary --- otherwise we're just guessing.
But I would guess the problem is that the planner is way off about the
number of rows satisfying the joint condition --- it thinks two:

This plan is good if there really are only a couple rows, but degrades
quickly if there are many...
