This seems counterproductive. You need to make the vacuum more efficient,
not more frantic.

Well, unbounded bloat will also impact the user queries--eventually. Was
this an experimental determination? Can you tell what about the autovac
most impacts the user queries, the reading or the writing?

You might just have more workload than your hardware can handle. There is
always going to be some fundamental limit, and while you can tune your way
up to that limit, you can't tune your way past it.
