We've been doing a vacuum every night. With about 254 million rows, it was
taking abut 0.8 hours. Now a few months later with about 456 million rows
it is taking 4.8 hours. I did check the archives and didn't find anything
like this.
Why is the vacuum time not going up linearly? Since vacuum has to
sequentially read the entire database, I would have expected a linear
increase - about 1.5 hours now.
There are currently no deletes or modifies to the database - only inserts.
This is on PostgreSQL 7.4.5, RedHat ES 3.0.
