I just stopped autovacuum, ran a manual vacuum analyze on 803 (2064 pages
needed, 8000000 FSM setting) and re-started the run (with cron vac enabled).
The query problem has not showed up yet (1/2 hour). A vacuum on 741 showed 3434
pages needed, 200000 FSM setting.
I'll let it run the night and see if it shows up after a couple of hours. It
has run clean for 1 hour prior. If this runs 'till morning, I'll re-enable the
autovacuum, disable the cron and see if it reproduces itself (the slowdown).
Cheers,
Rob
