That is indeed surprising, given that Pavel's VACUUM VERBOSE output indicates that the number of heap tuples deleted is identical across versions. The output also strongly suggests that the same heap pages are pruned on both versions, since the "index scan needed: " line is also identical across versions. Might it be that the extra PRUNE_VACUUM_SCAN records originated in pages that only contained existing LP_UNUSED items when scanned by VACUUM? -- Peter Geoghegan
