This is not directly related to your question, but it might be good for your DB: you don't need to turn off autovacuum, you can exclude tables individually from being autovacuumed by inserting the appropriate rows in pg_autovacuum. See: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/catalog-pg-autovacuum.html We also do have here a few big tables which we don't want autovacuum to touch, so we disable them via pg_autovacuum. There are a few really big ones which change rarely - those we only vacuum via a DB wide vacuum in the weekend (which for us is a low activity period). If you say your table is only changed rarely, you might be OK too with such a setup...
