If is truly static then there will be no or little xids generated  so 
the age will not be reached or reached slowly. Otherwise the normal 
autovacuuming will keep the xids under control. The caveat being an 
operation or operations that generate a lot of xids faster then the 
normal autovac settings can handle.
