You probably don't need to run VACUUM FREEZE.
VACUUM FREEZE will thrash the disks much more than normal VACUUM. We're
improving that somewhat in 8.3, but the basic issue is that VACUUM
FREEZE cleans out more dead rows and so will dirty more data blocks.
Are you concurrently running DDL, Truncate or CLUSTER? That will
interfere with the operation of VACUUM.
