We vacuum analyze nightly, and vacuum normally ad-hoc (but we're going to
schedule this weekly moving forward).
Interesting pointer about system catalog bloat. I tried to vacuum full the
system catalog tables (pg_*), and the performance for creating a single
table manually improved dramatically (back to what it used to be), but as
soon as I created the next schema, the performance went back down to the
same level.
So there's a clue there somewhere. Next I will try to vacuum full the entire
database.

System catalog bloat maybe? What are your vacuuming practices?
