Are you using 7.3?

I am asking because in 7.3 high update / delete tables could suffer 
(index and toast) bloat that was untamable via (lazy) VACUUM and FSM.
I believe this is fixed in 7.4, so it should be possible to achieve on 
disk size control of tables / indexes by configuring FSM and (lazy) 
VACUUM. Did you find this not to be the case?
