They don't have that. Just the 'normal' explain which doesn't explain
very much... I can read them, but not always fully understand them. (it
is a thing I occasionally really miss in mysql).

The difference in size is a bit odd I'd say?
Was that a fully vacuumed/new relation?

Btw, I wouldn't deem mysql 4.1 production-stable, perhaps you should
compare it with 4.0.17?
