But it'll do so immediately after I run a full vacuum on the entire database? Nothing has changed. This is a development box.
You know, I bet it doesn't refresh the view of the database after having run the maintenance script..

pgAdmin will advise vacuuming a table if there is a significant
discrepancy between the number of rows in the table and the value in
pg_class.reltuples. i forget the exact algorithm off-hand, but it
takes the size of the table into account, and is looking for a %age
difference between the value, not a set number of rows.
