How many questions about vacuum still grabbing all available bandwidth,
vacuum slowing down the whole system, vacuum being all evil do you want
to answer for 8.0? Over and over again we are defending reasonable

this is a reasonable default that will be a relief for large databases
and makes more or less no difference for small ones.
