Is there any chance the configuration is different between 9.5 and 10?
If there e.g. is an index on the table, the maintanance_work_mem setting
would make a large differerence when rebuilding. Note that the
medium-tablecase is noticably faster in 10 and that there's been some
speedup work around that in 10.

maintenance_work_mem = 16Mb is a very low value - it's e.g. used for
index builds, to sort the data.
