Bigger on your hard, so slower to scan. And bigger in memory, so you
need to push blocks out to scan it. Other than that, not much.

It's better to not have a lot of bloat. I mean, if you deleted half of
your 20 GB table, it makes sens to do a VACUUM FULL.

Depends on the percentage of bloat and table size.
