Hello! After upgrade PostgreSQL from 8.0 to 8.1.4 a VACUUM FULL ANALYZE process is much slower, from logs: 8.0 [13666][postgres][2006-10-06 01:13:38 CEST][1340121452] LOG: statement: VACUUM FULL ANALYZE; [13666][postgres][2006-10-06 01:39:15 CEST][0] LOG: duration: 1536862.425 ms 8.1 [4535][postgres][2006-10-10 01:08:51 CEST][6144112] LOG: statement: VACUUM FULL ANALYZE; [4535][postgres][2006-10-10 02:04:23 CEST][0] LOG: duration: 3332128.332 ms Databases are equal. I'm not using autovacuum.
