ah yes, that reminds me. If I know what my disk subsystem is capable of
I'd like to be able to say: VACUUM, please don't use more than 10MB/s.
You can do it now with a calculator and a lot of reading the docs but
surely Pg can work this out for itself.

Nicest would be ofcourse a niceness level, so that VACUUM slows itself
down according to the amount of queries going on (to a minimum
ofcourse).

Have a nice day,
