Rowcounts seems to be quite accurate as the tables get "VACUUM FULL ANALYZE"d
regularly.
This query plan comes from index optimization.
It is the cost estimate for the nested loop that scares me a little.
As of now only file system caching seems to help the timing (by a factor 10)
but this in turn is a transitory effect as I have little control over FS
cache.
