In your original post you said it was stopping on pg_class so now I am

No need to be confused. The vacuum thing is a bit tricky for laymen
like myself. The "pg_class" seemed to be associated to this table.
Anyway, even before the upgrade, the vacuum was stopping at this table
and taking forever.
The question is: what now. Where can I give you information from?
IOSTAT I've already shared.
Will the work_mem settings affect the manual REINDEX that's still
running? What can I do to speed up the REINDEX? Should I change my
autovacuum settings for this table specifcally (it's the only mammoth
table in the DB, and our main one)?
Adding to my previous post, some information from the statistic
collector would be useful. See here for more information:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/monitoring-stats.html#MONITORING-STATS-VIEWS-TABLE
For now the output of:
SELECT * from pg_stat_user_tables where relname='your_table_name';
might prove helpful.
Thanks.
