Please see attached the output from explain analyse. This is with the
shared_buffers = 10600
work_mem = 102400
enable_seqscan = true
BTW I guess should mention that I am doing the select count(*) on a View.
Ran the Explain analyse with the nestedloop disabled but it was taking
forever... and killed it after 30mins.
Thanks
