Re: two queries and dual cpu (perplexed)

OK ... so just to clearify...  (and pardon my ignorance):

I need to increase the value of 'default_statistics_target' variable and
then run VACUUM ANALYZE, right? If so what should I choose for the
'default_statistics_target'?

BTW I only don't do any sub-selection on the View.

I have attached the view in question and the output of:
SELECT oid , relname, relpages, reltuples
        FROM pg_class ORDER BY relpages DESC;
