Better explain analyze than plain eplain.
If the retrieval of data by seq scan is deemed "cheaper" than index
acces by postgresql's rather impressive planner system then a seq scan
is chosen. There are many methods for joining and so on, so picking
the right one can give you much better speed than a simple nested loop
only planner etc.
You might want to attach the query plans as a text file to preserve format.
