visibility map - what do i miss?

hi,
i tried to test new "visibility map" feature.

to do so i:
1. fetched postgresql sources from cvs
2. compiled
3. turned autovacuum off
4. started pg
5. ran this queries:
- CREATE TABLE test_1 (i INT4);
- CREATE TABLE test_2 (i INT4);
- CREATE TABLE test_3 (i INT4);
- CREATE TABLE test_4 (i INT4);
- INSERT INTO test_1 SELECT generate_series(1, 100000000);
- INSERT INTO test_2 SELECT generate_series(1, 100000000);
- INSERT INTO test_3 SELECT generate_series(1, 100000000);
- INSERT INTO test_4 SELECT generate_series(1, 100000000);
- UPDATE test_2 SET i = i + 1 WHERE i < 10000000;
- UPDATE test_3 SET i = i + 1 WHERE i < 50000000;
- UPDATE test_4 SET i = i + 1 WHERE i < 90000000;
- VACUUM test_1;
- VACUUM test_2;
- VACUUM test_3;
- VACUUM test_4;

I did it 2 times, first with sources of pg from 1st of november, and
second - with head from yesterday evening (warsaw, poland time).

results puzzled me.

First run - without visibility maps, timing of vacuums:
Time: 267844.822 ms
Time: 138854.592 ms
Time: 305467.950 ms
Time: 487133.179 ms

Second run - on head:

Time: 252218.609 ms
Time: 234388.763 ms
Time: 334016.413 ms
Time: 575698.750 ms

Now - as I understand the change - visilibity maps should make second run much faster?

Tests were performed on laptop. During first test I used it to browse the web,
read mail. During second test - nobody used the laptop.

Relation forms seem to exist:
# select oid from pg_database where datname = 'depesz';
oid
-------
16389
(1 row)
# select relfilenode from pg_class where relname ~ 'test_';
relfilenode
-------------
26756
26759
26762
26765
(4 rows)
