It seems that there are situations where autovacuum does not a really
good job.
However, in our application I have made stupid design decision which
I want to change as soon as possible. I have a "visit count" column
in one of the very large tables, so updates are VERY regular. I've
just checked and saw that autovacuum does a great job with that.
Nevertheless I have set up a cron job to do a standard vacuum every
month. I've used vacuum full only once after I did a bulk update of
about 200.000 rows ...
