That was discussed in another thread some time ago [1]. Adopting a hack
solution is not the way to go. It could lead to bad consequences in a near future.
For 9.2, we could advise users to divide the ANALYZE step into
ANALYZE-per-table steps and run them all in parallel. This ANALYZE-per-table
ranking could be accomplished using a simple approach like '... row_number()
OVER (ORDER BY pg_relation_size(oid) ... WHERE row_number % n = x' (tip stolen
from Simon's book).
