To be honest, I suspect it too. But, I have been told by people using
that database they can't do vacuum more frequently than once in a day as
it increases the time to achieve concurrent operations.
That's also why they don't want to hear about autovacuum.
And finally that's why I'm looking for everything I can monitor to
obtain information to convince them they're wrong and I'm right ;-)
That's also why I am so disappointed vacuum doesn't give me these 4
hints lines.
