Your CASE tool isn't doing you any favors, is it :-(.

Mostly you need to rearrange the JOIN order into something more efficient.
I'd guess that joining T1 to T4, then to T3, then to T2 would be the
way to go here.  Also, some study of the WHERE conditions proves that
all the LEFT JOINs could be reduced to plain joins, because any
null-extended row will get discarded by WHERE anyway.  That would be a
good thing to do to give the planner more flexibility.

PG 7.4 will be better prepared to handle this sort of query, but I don't
think it will realize that the T1/T2 left join could be reduced to a
plain join given these conditions (that requires observing that null T2
will lead to null T3 because of the join condition... hmmm, I wonder how
practical that would be...).  Without that deduction, the key step of
deciding to join T1/T4 first isn't reachable.
