Here are the stats for filename :
SELECT * from pgstattuple('public.filename');
table_len | tuple_count | tuple_len | tuple_percent | dead_tuple_count | dead_tuple_len | dead_tuple_percent | free_space | free_percent
------------+-------------+------------+---------------+------------------+----------------+--------------------+------------+--------------
5308719104 | 79338344 | 4717466438 | 88.86 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 11883396 | 0.22
So I guess it's not bloated.
I checked in the cache, the times displayed before were with path in the cache. filename couldn't stay in the cache, as it's too big.
