> Join order

Had to fight this a few times, planner thought it was smart to scan an index for a few million rows, then throw almost all of them away in a join further up, ending up with a few hundred rows.

Caused the query to take almost a minute. Once the join order was inverted (think I ended up with nesting queries) the thing took a second or two.
