Re: UnUsed Tuple Space Huge

Ok, I'll keep track of how many pages change between updates and play with the max_fsm_pages value.  I'll post my findings.

That's what I was beginning to think from reading.  I just wasn't sure 
of the correlation between MAX_FSM_PAGES and the actual pages occupied 
by the table after a full vacuum.  1:1 ?? Any general rules?   

1:1 would be worst case, probably.  The real question is how many pages
get dirtied between vacuums --- so you can trade off more frequent
vacuums for a smaller free space map.

We don't have a lot of experience yet with tuning that parameter (if
we did, there'd be advice in the manual).  Please report anything
you learn from experimentation.
