That does sound like a lack-of-vacuuming problem. If the performance
goes back where it was after VACUUM FULL, then you can be pretty sure
of it. Note that autovacuum is not designed to fix this for you: it
only ever issues regular vacuum not vacuum full.

Watch the output of "vmstat 1" or "iostat 1" for info about that.
