The planner thinks that because it thinks the second query will fetch
1500 times as many rows as the first. Now that I look more carefully
I see that both of those row estimates are off, the first by a lot.
Have you ANALYZEd this table lately? If you have, it might be a good
idea to increase the statistics target for the tstamp column.
You might also need to play around with random_page_cost, but it will be
counterproductive to touch that until the rowcount estimates are in the
vicinity of reality.
