Yep, that was it, thanks.
I had the default autovacuum_naptime of 1 minute, and had two Postgresql
clusters runing. I turned off autovacuum and these threads disappeared.
Still not sure how it comes to twice a minute per cluster. There are 5
databases, and as far as I know, a client connection to one of them, not
doing anything, while this was happening.
