What Jeff said. This vacuum spent a lot of time, only to remove miserly
19k tuples, but 2.7M dead tuples remained ... probably because you have
long-running transactions preventing vacuum from removing them. Maybe
that was pg_dump.
I suspect what you really need is keep an eye on the age of your oldest
transactions. Don't leave anything "idle in transaction".
