Presumably you meant to ask if this makes sense to show when cost
accounting isn't enabled, because the code doesn't do that right now.
No cost accounting, no buffer usage/write rate data as this was submitted.
Looks like making this work even in cases where cost accounting isn't on
will make the patch a bit larger obtrusive, but it's not unreasonable.
Now that you mention it, people who do a manual, full-speed VACUUM would
certainly appreciate some feedback on the rate it ran at. I'll include
that in the next update.
