Not to derail this thread, and pre-empt a thread where this can be discussed in its own context, but isn't that kind of the main problem? Tuning autovacuum is really complicated and one of the parameters that I think universally seem to make sense to users is just autovacuum_max_workers. I agree that it doesn't do what most think it should, but a quick skim of the name and docs can probably lead to a lot of folks trying to use it as hammer. -- Daniel Gustafsson
