FWIW, that index I've been groveling through in connection with your
other problem contains an astonishingly large amount of dead space ---
almost 50%.  I suspect that you need a much larger max_fsm_pages
setting, and possibly more-frequent vacuuming, in order to keep a lid
on the amount of wasted space.
