I had a look through a few other tables...:

INFO:  "table1": scanned 22988 of 22988 pages, containing 2713446 live
rows and 895662 dead rows; 45000 rows in sample, 2713446 estimate
d total rows

INFO:  "table2": scanned 24600 of 24600 pages, containing 270585 live
rows and 65524 dead rows; 45000 rows in sample, 270585 estimated total rows

Is that dead rows an issue?  Should I try clean it out?  Will it improve
performance ?
