The item pointers themselves are not very interesting --- at 4 bytes
apiece, they're only accounting for 2% of the table space.  However
the fact that there are nearly 10x more unused than used ones suggests
that this table is suffering a pretty serious bloat problem.  Assuming
constant-width rows in the table, that implies something like 90% of
the space in the table is unused.  (contrib/pgstattuple might be useful
to confirm this estimate.)

VACUUM FULL, or perhaps better CLUSTER, would get you out of that.  And
yes, you will need to vacuum more often afterwards if you want to keep
the bloat under control.

            regards, tom lane
