One final thing I find curious about this is that the estimated
number of rows is much closer in the "offset 0" form of the query.
Since the logic itself is identical, I would have expected the
estimated total number of rows for both forms of this query to
be identical.
Any reason the two plans estimate a different total number of rows?
