... or at least, if your concern is poor choice of query plan, it's
folly to treat them as being equivalent to real time. Actual runtimes
are the things to compare.

Also, I wouldn't care to bet that estimated costs from 7.1 are very
comparable to 7.4, anyway. We rejiggered the cost models enough in
between that it's quite likely to be a meaningless comparison.
