Just a data point: With a fresh 7.4 and
geqo=on
geqo_threshold=11
geqo_generations=0
geqo_effort=1
geqo_pool_size=0
geqo_selection_bias=2
a 12 table join was taking a whole second to plan until I manually
connected the tables (now it's in the order of a few ms).
I figure geqo had kicked in at that point.
