VACUUM <> VACUUM FULL
Normally running VACUUM via autovacuum should help reuse free space but not actually return it to the filesystem / OS
(unlessit happens to be the last blocks in the data file(s)).
 
Ppl in normal/average type of installations/workloads no longer (since 8.2) run VACUUM (or VACUUM FULL) by hand, except
inextra ordinary cases where e.g. need for free space is urgent.
