Hmmm, autovac is on by default and it appears I've left most of the
default settings in play, but since I don't get any fsm warnings,
things seem to be running cleanly.

autovacuum_max_workers = 5              # max number of autovacuum subprocesses

autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 1000      # min number of row updates before
                                        # vacuum
autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 2000     # min number of row updates before
                                        # analyze

in fact there is a vac running right now :)

Thanks Scott!
