Don't know just yet.  When I run the vacuums manually on a healthy system on
741, they take less than 30 seconds.  I've stopped the cron vacuum and canceled
all the outstanding vacuum processes, but the 803 is still struggling (1/2 hour
later).

I'll re-start the database, vacuum full analyze and restart the runs without the
cron vacuum running.
