Well the fsm information is available in the pg_freespace contrib module,
however it does not help with the "how long does it take to maintian XZY, or
vacuum of relfoo did ABC".
I'm thinking a logtable of something like the following:
relid
starttime
elapsed_time
rows
rows_removed
pages
pages_removed
reusable_pages
cputime
This information then could be statisticaly used to ballance N queues to
provide optimal vacuuming performance.
Josh, is this more of what you were thinking as well ?
