Just FYI, I've finally found time to figure out why do I get slightly
different results. It turns out I was running tests against a
partitioned table without a primary key, which obviously affects
planner, making planning time shorter and reducing the delta between the
patched version and the main branch.

But of course a partitioned table without a pk makes little sense, so I
guess those results are not very relevant. I've done another round with
pk, and got results similar to yours.
