Regular vacuum (without the "full" keyword) should always be enough. And I don't recommend turning autovacuum off. You might need to increase the "max_fsm_pages" setting to avoid database bloat. The output of a database wide "vacuum verbose" should tell you, if it is set appropriately. And Francesco, if you say "but on a mysql to execute a simple select with an order by the time was jus 1 or 2 seconds ... on this installation the time it's about 10 seconds or more", could you provide the "explain analyze"-output for those queries? This should help analyzing your problems.
