All,
  I have started playing with 6.5 and duped my DB onto a
spare box. I grabbed one of the most intensive queries that
runs under the current system and ran it on 6.5. It took
FOREVER. I then ran explain on both 6.4 and 6.5 and here is
the output for both...can anyone explain what the issue is here?
Or is it just that 6.5 is still in development?

(All tables are vacuumed)
