freezing old tuples 
hash join was spilling out to temp files

Since this was a new table and the writes to the table's disk were very large it was probably the hint bits.

The small table was about 1300 rows and my work_mem was 100MB so the writes to the main disk probably was not hash spillage.  They were tiny, so I'm not worried about  them.

Thanks very much,
Nik
