Yep, certainly very good feedback on this.

The only question I have is whether there is any way to see how much
free space is available for each relation, and whether this is an issue.
Is there code that sees lots of inserts into a table and starts a
vacuum on it to try to fill up the free space list?  My concern is that
without knowing how much free space is recorded, it might be hard to
know if a vacuum is required.
