Hmm ... something broken about getrusage() on Windows?

Are you sure you had cost-based vac disabled? I tried to reproduce
your experiment here. I saw some degradation in vacuuming speed
but not nearly as large as you're reporting (85 vs 73 seconds),
and as far as I could tell it was still maxing out my disk.
But the behavior you're describing is exactly what I'd expect if
cost-based vac was on.
