I did not run analyze, only vacuum full - the disk usage reported by the OS
has stayed the same also - the data folder under postgres is still at over
25GB. Postgres itself also still reports db size at 25GB, but when I ask
postgres for a table breakdown by size, it reports only about 9GB of tables
in the db.

Will analyze help? I was under the impression that was more for statistics
gathering and index optimising?
