Usually it's best to run ANALYZE more often than VACUUM, since the
statistics generated by ANALYZE are used to choose the most
efficient plan, and ANALYZE runs faster because it just takes a
random sample of rows.  Out-of-date statistics are one of the most
common causes of slow queries.  That's not to say there couldn't be
some very unusual circumstances under which it might make sense to
disable ANALYZE, but I'm highly skeptical.
 
Anyway, if you *really* want to shoot that fly off the end of your
toe (to stretch a metaphor), you could adjust the autovacuum
settings related to analyze to really high values.
