Tune your penalty and picksplit function. Gevel module can help you to look
inside of index ( http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/gevel ).
Usially, index becomes big when picksplit works bad: during split it place one
key on one page and all other keys on another page. So you have a huge number of
page with single value.
