Using the quer provided here[1] I see this comment:

  /*
   * distinct_real_item_keys is how many distinct "data" fields on page
   * (excludes highkey).
   *
   * If this is less than distinct_block_pointers on an internal page, that
   * means that there are so many duplicates in its children that there are
   * duplicate high keys in children, so the index is probably pretty
bloated.
   *
   * Even unique indexes can have duplicates.  It's sometimes
interesting to
   * watch out for how many distinct real items there are within leaf
pages,
   * compared to the number of live items, or total number of items. 
Ideally,
   * these will all be exactly the same for unique indexes.
   */

In my case, I'm seeing:

distinct_real_item_keys|distinct_block_pointers|
-----------------------|-----------------------|
                      1|                     63|

This is about half an hour after running VACUUM FULL ANALYZE on the table.

What can I do to reduce this?
