I've got a large database that's getting too big. I
checked with the users and deleted approximately 1/6th
of the records (we have archived backups) and then ran
a VACUUM, which took a really long time to complete
(several days). But, the disk space usage doesn't seem
to have changed. Do I need to VACUUM twice or
something? Should it be faster the second time?

Thanks.
