regularly monitor your index sizes with a query such as this:

SELECT relname,relpages FROM pg_class WHERE relname LIKE 'user_list%' ORDER BY relname;

On my most busy tables, index bloat in PG 7.2 is horrendous.  I have
one index that more than triples in size after about 10 days.  After
reindex it gets to a respectable 22k relpages.
