I don't think you want to do that. You should use a pool. Back end
startup is mighty expensive.

You'll want to vacuum after every set of deletes, I should think. If
you're woking in more than one transaction for the deletes, then
fairly frequent vacuums of that table will be effective.

You don't want to use 7.3.3. It has a rare but serious bug and was
replaced in something like 24 hours with 7.3.4. The 7.2 branch is no
longer being maintained, so you really probably should use the 7.3
branch. I'm unaware of others having stability problems with 7.3.4,
so if you see them, you should find your core dump and talk to the
people on -hackers.
