pgAdmin will advise vacuuming a table if there is a significant
discrepancy between the number of rows in the table and the value in
pg_class.reltuples. i forget the exact algorithm off-hand, but it
takes the size of the table into account, and is looking for a %age
difference between the value, not a set number of rows.
