Have you tried creating some different indexes on parameters?  I don't
know if it should matter or not, but I would try some indexes like:

(run, opset_num) //Without all the other columns
(opset_num, run) //Backwards
(opset_num)

I don't really know Postgres internals all that well.  It just seems to
me that parameters_idx has a lot of columns this query is not interested
in.  I'd just be curious to see what happens.
