The numbers output by VACUUM don't tell you anything about how many of
those pages will actually be remembered in the FSM.
In practice, max_fsm_relations=100 is too small; we've bumped the
default to 1000 for 7.4.

Whole database. That default setting is very small, too (enough for
a database of maybe a couple hundred meg, at most).
