So, the first thing I would do is change:

> (SELECT setting FROM pg_settings
> WHERE name='shared_buffers')::integer,1)

to:

> (SELECT setting FROM pg_settings
> WHERE name='shared_buffers')::integer,1)

and change:

> round(100.0 * count(*) * 8192 /
> pg_relation_size(c.oid),1)

to:

> pg_relation_size(c.oid),1)

Then look for 0s in those output columns. I'll bet that the 9.4 vs 9.2 difference is simply a value of 0 for one of
those,not some exotic thing about the query plan. If I'm right about that, then you can start hunting down a specific
explanation.
