Truncate does reclaim space. Bulk deletes do not. If you are doing bulk
deletes since you need to delete *almost* everything consider using
"cluster" to clean up. It is much faster and gives you new unbloated
indexes. You may find pg_reorg of interest as well.
I did not use autovacuum because in past some times I lost
data when is inserted. In past is happened once every month or two
some record just missing.
This issue, perhaps?:

In which case the data was not actually lost but could be missing from
the index (with the obvious potential for resulting corruption). It has
been fixed in current versions.
Cheers,
Steve
