I guess the question is why are you running vacuum full at all. Plain
vacuum should suffice, provided the FSM settings are enough for your
database:

max_fsm_pages at 480000 are enough to cover 3 GB, if my math is correct.
It may be enough or it may not, depending on the dynamics of your data.
Also with non-full vacuum you may be able to get away with vacuuming
some tables more often.
