It might have something to do with the fact that the planner's idea of
the size of the table is off by a factor of more than 100:
> -> Seq Scan on foo_abc_abc (cost=0.00..468944.11 rows=15404611 width=8) (actual time=0.029..125458.870
rows=115830loops=1)
You might need to review your vacuuming policy.
(However, a full table indexscan isn't going to be particularly fast in
any case; it's often the case that seqscan-and-sort is the right
decision. I'm not sure this choice was wrong.)
