Seqscanning and sorting a table is generally faster than a full scan of
the table using an index scan, unless the heap is roughly in the index
order. You probably need to CLUSTER the tables to use the indexes
effectively.
Are you sure you have an index on sequence_alignment.sequence_id? The
planner seems to choose a seqscan + sort, even though you've set
enable_seqscan=false.
