Re: For index bloat: VACUUM ANALYZE vs REINDEX/CLUSTER

What constitutes a "small fill factor"? Would 70 be good? I guess my
current must have been the default, which the manual says is 100. Or
did you mean really small fill factor like 20? In this context, what
is "packing" in the manual -- is that some kind of compression?
