Before 9.0, VACUUM FULL required a REINDEX afterwards if you want to
keep decent performances.
With 9.0, it is no longer required because the new VACUUM FULL doesn't
bloat the index anymore.
So, in a sense, you were both right :) The documentation you're
referring to is the 9.0 manual. And Igor specified that one need to
REINDEX after VACUUM FULL for any release prior to 9.0. Both right.
