Graham, that could have something to do with it. It's surprising though, because postgres 8.3 is smarter in dealing with the LIMIT and avoiding unnecessary sorting etc. Perhaps this is a performance regression associated with that.

On this query I see no fewer than 3 sequential scans: on BugTask, Bug, and SourcePackageName. We may have an incredilicious database setup but it's still a lot to ask for. The SourcePackageName one is cheap though, so jettisoning the prejoins probably doesn't help.
