Do you really think this is a problem with the statistics itself?  It ran
well in 9 using the same statistics gathering methods.  I've tried computing
histograms on pm_intake.pcn (its the PK of wfs_reg_intake_workers).

I am taking a closer look at the SQL and think it's quite horrible.  For
starters, I can't even see why the group by is even in the query.  Removing
the group by clause removes the hash group by and then I'm back to my
regular execution times.

The second query I included wasn't the best example.  At the time I thought
it pertained to all updates with correlated queries. I now believe that it
only pertains to updates with correlated queries that have a subquery
containing a group by clause.  What a mouthful!
