huh. OFFSET does indeed force a materialize plan. This is a widely
used tactic to hack the planner ('OFFSET 0').
Maybe try converting your query from something like:
SELECT * FROM foo LIMIT m OFFSET N;
to
WITH data AS
(
SELECT * FROM foo LIMIT m + n
)
SELECT * FROM foo OFFSET n;
I didn't try this, and it may not help, but it's worth a shot.
