Thanks Kevin, we made the changes for query performance reasons. Our schema is 
such that the changes above make enough of an impact to make it worthwhile.

I think we're now looking at a two-phase validation process; an initial 
regression test on any new version we take then a further check using our 
settings. I guess it's actually more useful that we must now inspect the 
results since it might help us to squeeze even more performance boosts out of 
Postgresql.

All the best, John
