Looking at the differences in statistics before and after the ANALYZE the
only differences are in correlation. This comes from initdb around line
1046...
"$PGPATH"/postgres $PGSQL_OPT template1 >/dev/null <<EOF
ANALYZE;
VACUUM FULL FREEZE;
EOF
Could this be done better in the one step VACUUM FULL FREEZE ANALYZE or
ANALYZING after the VACUUM FULL?
