When you have so much data and a statistics target so low, you can't
expect the sample taken to be representative :between different runs
of ANALYZE, you can have totally different estimates and so totally
different plans. You just were lucky at 10 and unlucky at 100.
Thanks for your feedback and it's nice to see your problem solved.
