I loaded 10,000,000 rows into CREATE TABLE test (x INTEGER); Table is
400MB and index is 160MB.

With index on the single in4 column, I got:
78 seconds for a vacuum
121 seconds for vacuum after deleting a single row
662 seconds for vacuum after deleting the entire table

With no index, I got:
43 seconds for a vacuum
43 seconds for vacuum after deleting a single row
43 seconds for vacuum after deleting the entire table

I find this quite interesting.
