If there were lots of inserts, I would guess it would need to re-analyze the
tables to update its statistics on them, so the query optimizer can make good
choices.

Subject: Re: [GENERAL] LARGE db dump/restore for upgrade question
Hi
Just did a vacuum, took almost 4 hours. The interesting thing about this
is that there are only two small tables that have updates, everything else
has been just inserts. I would have thought that a vacuum of a database
shouldn't take very long if there aren't alot of "deleted" rows.
