In the simulated test run which is shared in the previous mail, after a heavy update
the system is idle for 15 mins.
With the master code, the vacuum is not triggered during this idle time as it is
Not satisfies the vacuum threshold, because it doesn't consider the dead tuples occurred
During vacuum operation.
With the fix the one extra vacuum can gets triggered compared to master code after two or three
heavy updates because of accumulation of dead tuples.

The bloat reduced is same with initial and latest patch.
The vacuum cost parameters change (which doesn't contain any fix) is avoided the bloat.
