Of course ... before 8.1 we routinely did a vacuum full analyze each
night. As of 8.1 we use autovacuum.

No. Our database contains tables for we content management systems. The
server hosts approx. 500 cms applications, and each of them has approx.
30 tables.
That's why I'm asking if it was better to have 500 databases with 30
tables each. In previous Postgres versions this led to even worse
performance ...
