seriously, I am far below this level of knowledge. But I can contribute a test that (maybe) can help. I have rewritten the query so it JOINs the varchar() fields (in fact all fields except the IDPK) at the last INNER JOIN. Though there is one more JOIN, the query is more than 5 times faster (1975.312 ms) :-)
That confirms my thought that passing the data up through multiple levels of join is what's killing us. I'll work on a solution. This will of course be even less back-patchable to 8.0.* than Ogawa's work, but hopefully it will fix the issue for 8.1.
