Running VACUUM VERBOSE pg_largeobject took quite some time. Here's the

VACUUM
Hmm ... although you have no dead rows now, the very large number of
unused item pointers suggests that there were times in the past when
pg_largeobject didn't get vacuumed often enough. You need to look at
your vacuuming policy. If you're using autovacuum, it might need to have
its parameters adjusted. Otherwise, how often are you vacuuming, and
are you doing it as superuser?
I will try to run VACUUM ANALYZE FULL after the next delete tonight, as
suggested by Ivan Voras in another post.
Actually, a CLUSTER might be more effective.

Does CLUSTER really help here? On my 8.2 database, I get:
CLUSTER pg_largeobject_loid_pn_index on pg_largeobject ;
ERROR: "pg_largeobject" is a system catalog
Has this changed in >= 8.3?
