Well, in that case you probably want a lot less than "10-30 minutes"
between vacuums, at least for this particular table.  I don't know how
one configures autovac for this, but I suppose it can be done ...

Also you doubtless need max_fsm_pages a lot higher than that.  A
conservative setting would make it as big as your whole database,
eg for a 10Gb disk footprint use 10Gb/8K (something upwards of
a million) FSM page slots.
