Consider applying the latest bug fixes for 9.1 -- which would leave
you showing 9.1.9.

Why did you change this from the default of 100?

How much RAM is on this machine? What else is running on it?
(Normally people set this to 50% to 75% of total RAM. Lower values
discourage index usage in queries like your example.)
Do you get a different plan if you set cpu_tuple_cost = 0.03? How
about 0.05? You can set this just for a single connection and run
explain on the query to do a quick check.
