I wouldn't say it is the ultimate root of the problem, but using
generate_series, especially with non-constant parameters, seems harmful
for the query planning: we can't predict the number of tuples and don't
have any statistics on that set. So, your LIMIT works like a hint that
helps decide how massive a set of tuples it will generate and seems to
be the only option possible.
