I thought about this, might be a good idea as it will mitigate the
impact of vacuums, however it will also slow down vacuums, I'm a bit
concerned that it won't be able to keep up on really large database, or
that it'll fall really far behind after vacuuming a big table.
Also, if we do enable it, what is a good default?
