v9.1.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 server. I have one table which has frequent insert and weekly deletion, no update. Recently, I found the auto vacuum on the toast table of it almost running all the time. each run took around 1 hour. I don't think there are so many inerts so that it reaches the auto vacuum criteria(20%? changes). And there is no such frequent auto vacuum on the main table. The last auto vacuum of the main table is on 3rd Jun. what might cause this behavior?

# grep pg_toast_16922 postgresql-2012-06-12_000000.log
