Thread: [PERFORM] Performance degradation from PostgreSQL 8.2.21 to PostgreSQL 9.3.2

Issuing exactly the same query as PostgreSQL 8.2.21 and PostgreSQL 9.3.2 will slow the response by 6.4 ms on average.
What could be the cause?
Measurement method is as follows.
・ PostgreSQL 8.2.21 installation
 ★Measurement
・ Export DUMP of PostgreSQL 8.2.21
・ PostgreSQL 8.2.21 uninstallation
・ PostgreSQL 9.3.2 installation
・ Dump import
 ★Measurement

[query]
select
 table4.a as col_0_0_,
 table4.a as col_1_0_,
 table4.a as col_2_0_,
 table4.b as col_0_1_,
 table4.c,
 table4.d
from
 table1,
 table2,
 table3,
 table4
where
 table1.a=table2.a and
 table1.a="parameter$1" and
 table2.roleid=table3.roleid and
 table3.a="parameter$2" and
 table4.b='3' and
 table2.a=table4.a;

It is impossible to answer this with certainty without
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) output, but my first guess is that
the statistics on the 9.3 installation are not up to date.

ANALYZE all involved tables, then try again and see if the
performance degradation has vanished.

If not, start studying the execution plans.

Are the parameters in postgresql.conf set the same?
