Thank you all for responding so far.
David Rowley and Justin Pryzby suggested things about autovacuum. But I don't think autovacuum has any helpful role here. I am explicitly doing a vacuum on that table. And it doesn't help at all. Almost not at all.
If you do a vacuum verbose, what stats do you get back? What is the size of the index when the degradation starts to show, and immediately after a successful reindex?
Also, how is JobID assigned? Are they from a sequence, or some other method where they are always added to the end of the index's keyspace?
When it starts to degrade, what is the EXPLAIN plan for the query?
Cheers,
