Well, basically there are only INSERTs going on there (it is a table holding audit records for each DML statement). I do not see how a DELETE statement could block an INSERT?

You are correct that rebuilding the table will be faster, but then, there is a chance that some INSERT's will be blocked and eventually will fail (depending on the duration of the rebuilding, the exact moment I run it, and the involved operations on the other tables).

Could such a memory consumption be related to a GET DIAGNOSTICS plpgsql block? The delete itself is within a stored procedure, and then I return the amount of the deleted rows from the function:

DELETE FROM
  audits.audits
WHERE
  id <= last_synced_audits_id;

GET DIAGNOSTICS counter = ROW_COUNT;

RETURN counter;

Is it possible that the DELETE blocked many of those triggers due to
locking the same rows?

Incidentally, any time I get into deleting large numbers of rows, I
generally find it faster to rebuild the table instead ...
