Our application supports pg 8.4 onwards. The vacuums are run automatically by the application rather than requiring end users to enable autovacuum; the vacuums being performed are regular.

Automatic regular vacuums? So you do or don't have autovac turned on?

What version of pg are you running (8.3 or before, 8.4 or later?)

Are your nightly vacuums FULL or regular vacuums?
