Aggressive autoanalyze and autovacuum settings solve most query problems.
These are my settings:
default_statistics_target = 5000
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.015
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 250
autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor = 0.015
autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 250
Such a high default_statistics_target value is controversial, but works for
our databases, and resetting it to 100 doesn't noticably speed up slow
parse/optimize on queries that take a long time to parse/optimize any more
than the 5000 value.
