Thanks, i thought we were already taking the database size into account
somewhat when we calculate the vacuum threshold by factoring in reltuples.
My initial thought is that we already decide to vacuum a table if (vactuples
> vacthresh). if we order the list by vacpriority where

vacpriority=vactuples - vacthresh

it would be reasonable start, without being too complicated , thoughts?
