Please, a "vacuum full" should only be a measure of last resort ever.
Regular vacuum (without the "full" keyword) should always be enough.
And I don't recommend turning autovacuum off.

You might need to increase the "max_fsm_pages" setting to avoid
database bloat. The output of a database wide "vacuum verbose" should
tell you, if it is set appropriately.

And Francesco, if you say

  "but on a mysql to execute a simple select with an order by the time was jus
  1 or 2 seconds ... on this installation the time it's about 10 seconds or
  more",

could you provide the "explain analyze"-output for those queries? This should
help analyzing your problems.

Ciao,
Thomas
