IMO vacuum cost delay seems not to be a solution. To keep long running
system's performance steady, we need to avoid table/index bloat(I
assume incoming trasanction rate is constant). Surely vacuum delay
reduces the impact, but the cost is taking longer time to salvage free
spaces, and FMS will run out due to incoming transactions, no?
