I presume because of the frequent ANALYZEs? In my real-world application
I won't be running ANALYZE manually like this. I am only using it as a
quick hack to get a picture of the dead rows in the various tables so I
could get a feel for what was happening, and it seems that this is what
is causing a conflict with the autovacuum...
