> Could this be because of my Cost-Based Vacuum Delay settings ?

	Yeah. It is supposed to slow down VACUUM so it doesn't kill your server=
,  =

but it is not aware of the load. It will also slow it down if there is n=
o  =

load. That is its purpose after all ;)
	If you want fast vacuum, issue SET  vacuum_cost_delay  =3D 0; before.
