Do they have the same data?

They have different data.  The fast one has about 150 rows and the  slow one has about 40 rows.  The field in question here, the branch_id, is a BIGSERIAL in both.

Different data?  Different statistics?  Different numbers of
(possibly dead) rows?


We don't allow deletes and updates are fairly infrequent.  I also did a vacuum analyze to no effect.

What can I do to get more statistics that would help?

Thanks for the help,
Aaron
