You don't need to do a manual vacuumdb -a since autovacuum will do this
once it decides you are getting too close to the wraparound point. I
believe this has been improved in the upcoming 8.2 release where
autovacuum no longer need to vacuum the whole database at once, rather
XID wraparound is now tracked on a per table basis.
