Well, firstly, its not an academic exercise - Its very much of a real
problem that needs a real solution :)
I'm running postgresql v8.0 and my problem is that running vacuum on my
indices are blazing fast (upto 10x faster) AFTER running reindex. For a
table with only 1 index, the time to do a vacuum (without full) went down
from 45 minutes to under 3 minutes. Maybe thats not bloat but thats
surely surprising. And this was after running vacuum periodically.
