I first set STATISTICS to 1000 for column zoneindex_test and saw no
significant improvement (with a vacuum full analyze in between). Then
I set default_statistics_target to 1000: there is now an improvement,
but the overall time is still way too long... (and the estimated costs
didn't change...)
Here are the results with default_statistics_target set to 1000:

explain analyze SELECT idstruct, headline(zonetext, q),
rank(zoneindex_test, q) FROM tab_ocr, tab_chemin, to_tsquery('partir')
AS q WHERE tab_chemin.chemin like '%;2;%' AND tab_ocr.idstruct =
tab_chemin.label AND zoneindex_test @@ q ORDER BY rank(zoneindex_test,
q) DESC;

The improvement seems negligible (with default_statistics_target back
to 10, its default value):
explain analyze SELECT idstruct, headline(zonetext, q),
rank(zoneindex_test, q) FROM tab_ocr, tab_chemin, to_tsquery('partir')
AS q WHERE tab_chemin.chemin like '%;2;%' AND tab_ocr.idstruct =
tab_chemin.label AND zoneindex_test @@ to_tsquery('partir') ORDER BY
rank(zoneindex_test, q) DESC;

I posted the results above.

I'm using real data. The indexed documents are extracted from
newspapers, and "partir" (and its derivates) is quite a common verb in
the French language, so I'm not that surprised to see it show up in
many documents.
