can you submit more details? for example 'explain analyze' (perhaps
here: http://explain.depesz.com/) of the plans generated GEQO vs GA vs
stock? It sounds like you might be facing an estimation miss which is
not really an issue a better planner could solve.
That said, assuming you're getting 'better' plans in less time suggest
you might be on to something.
