Kristo,
thanks a bunch!!
This was the solution...
The cluster operation took about 60sec, and after it was done the vacuum
finished in only 10sec. or so, with no noticeable performance
bottleneck. Now vacuum is running every 2-3 minutes and makes no problems.
Hhhh, now I can look forward to a laid-back weekend..
Richard, Kristo, Alvaro, thanks 1000 times for responding so quickly
:-)
