pgAdmin notices a discrepancy between real rowcount and estimated 
rowcount and thus suggests to run vacuum/analyze; it won't examine 
autovacuum rules so it might warn although autovac is running ok.

If you're sure autovacuum is running fine, just dismiss the message. 
It's a hint for newbies that do *not* run vacuum because they don't know 
what it's good for.

Andreas
