vacuumdb does not reindex, reindexdb does that.

Hard to say with so little evidence.

What does top, or vmstat 1, or iostat 10 or

select datname, current_query, waiting, (now()-query_start)::time(0) as runtime
from pg_stat_Activity
where current_query not ilike '%idle%'
order by query_start limit 10

have to say?

Is the database already bloated? If so, how big is /data/base
compared to usual?
