Let me show this part again, to make things easier to understand =)
Nested Loop (cost=0.00..389461.65 rows=20000 width=38)
Total runtime: 22934.656 ms
Without hash and merge, the plan is exactly the same for 8.1 and 8.3.
No inicial cost for nested loops... it seems that hash < merge < nested
in this case.

The parameters are at their default. The only changes made are in shared
buffers, work and maintenance mem.

I dont know if I understand what test tables you are talking about.
To run this tests I disabled autovacuum, and run "vacuum analyze test /
jtest" before.
