I use a freebsd-current (hereafter called FBSD) as a test environment,
with a freshly reloaded db and NO VACUUM or ANALYZE ever run, and i
EXPLAIN ANALYZE some queries against a linux 2.4.18SMP (hereafter called
LNX) which is the production environment, and on which a recent VACUUM
FULL ANALYZE is run.
Some queries run *very* fast on FBSD and very slow on LNX,
where others run very slow on FBSD and very fast on LNX.
(Here the oper system is not an issue, i just use these
2 acronyms as aliases for the 2 situations/environments.
So i have:

======= END LNX =====================================
* first is a function:
integer first(integer[]),
that returns the first element of a [1xN] array.
Now i run a VACUUM FULL ANALYZE; on the FBSD system
and after taht,i get *identical* plans as on the LNX system.
So, the VACUUM FULL ANALYZE command helps QueryB, but screws
QueryA.
Here i paste pg_stats,pg_class data for the 3 tables (status,
machdefs, items) on the FBSD system

Also Tom, i could give you access, if you want, to the test environment :)
