Thanks for the reply. we will be reviewing the settings soon.
Also have manually ran the database-wide vacuum on the 50GB database . (for safety reasons). the transaction count is 1147399191. we plan to automate this process once a month or so.
Do we need to Disable the Auto-vacuum deamon when we manually run the database-wide vacuum command ?.
thanks in advance.

Those settings are *really* conservative... I normally use 400, 200,
0.2, 0.1 respectively...

IIRC it will do that somewhere between 2B and 4B transactions have
elapsed. The true answer lies somewhere in
src/backend/postmaster/autovacuum.c.
