Thanks :-)

Good thought. Sounds like we'd benefit from having another parameter:
autovacuum_vacuum_delay_siblings = -1 (default) 0..INT_MAX
Minimum number of active backends before autovacuum delay becomes
effective. If there are fewer than <param> active backends automatic
maintenance will proceed at full speed when the opportunity arises. The
delay will vary dynamically, thus utilising quiet periods more
effectively as and when they occur. Set to -1 if the database server is
running on a shared system and you do not want quiet periods to be used
for maintenance.
