Do you ever "vacuum full" to reclaim empty record space?
Unless you expect the size of the database to permanently decrease by a significant amount, that is a waste of time, and may cause bloat in indexes. In this case, since the space will be used again fairly soon, it is better to just VACUUM, or autovacuum. Just make sure the free space map can cope with it.
