I'll try bumping vacuum_cost_limit up to 1000 or so. Actually I think the main problem is that cost_delay value, which is probably an order of magnitude too high. The way to limit vacuum's I/O impact on other stuff is to make it take frequent short delays, not have it run full speed and then sleep a long time. In any case, your current settings have got it sleeping way too much.
