OK, so after checking my config, it is still not optimal because it
refers to all the data bases in the cluster. I have setups where I have
multiple data bases in the same cluster, with various degrees of
activity... some of them should be checked continuously, some rarely...
so now if I let the default 60 seconds, each data base will be checked
in db_count * (60 + vacuum time) seconds. This is not optimal... some of
the DBs have way much activity than others. Those I would like to be
checked say each 10 seconds, the rest each 5 minutes...

Cheers,
Csaba.
