Yeah, eqjoinsel() is O(N^2) in the lengths of the MCV lists, in the
worst case where there's little overlap in the list memberships.
The actual cost would depend a lot on the specific column datatypes.

Not sure about your report that re-analyzing with the same stats target
made a significant difference.  It might have been a matter of chance
variation in the sampled MCV list leading to more or fewer matches.
