I read in another thread that vacuum verbose would tell me how much FSM 
is needed, but I ran it and didn't see any output about this. What is 
the way to determine how much FSM is needed (other than wait for hints 
in the log).

What is the trade-off? Anyway to predict how much more (presumably) FSM 
is needed if you vacuum more often?
Thanks,
Brian
