Det,
I don't think anyone meant to suggest that VACUUM ANALYZE would improve the
count speed on a table which had become bloated, but its routine use would
PREVENT a table from becoming bloated. Once bloat occurs, you need more
agressive maintenance, like VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER.
VACUUM FULL tends to cause index bloat, so you will probably see performance
issues in other queries at the moment. You will probably need to REINDEX
the table or use CLUSTER to clean that up.
