IIRC there is per operation threshold. If update threshold is 5% and table is
2% updatedit, then it should not look at it at all.
It's worth mentioning that you should start auto vacuum daemon on a clean
database. i.e. no pending vacuum. It is not supposed to start with a database
which has lots of clean up pending. The essence of auto vacuum daemon is to
maintain a clean database in clean state..
I agree, specifying per table thresholds would be good in autovacuum..
