Note this isn't a _problem_ with vacuum, exactly, it's just the set of
compromises that PostgreSQL has settled on. There are other ways of
cleaning up the system ("defrag", of the sort you were implying is one, "pay
the cost during transaction" is another one, &c.). The piper has to be
paid, and all we're doing is arguing about what currency we'll use :)
