I'm guessing your slave isn't being vacuumed. Or, perhaps you have a
long-running transaction on the slave that is preventing dead rows from
being cleaned up.
Two useful commands:
vacuum verbose mytable;
This will show you how many rows/pages can/should be cleaned up.
SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('mytable') );
This will show you the size of "mytable" (formatted nicely).
