No, but PostgreSQL's query planner may take a different approach for a small
table than a large one. The statistics used are generated during VACUUM
ANALYZE/VACUUM FULL operations and, under 8.1, are probably maintained by
autovacuum, but you can always vacuum manually and see if that changes the
query plan.
