For the serious testing, does anyone have a good technique for creating

I've changed the limits for freezing options a while back, so you can
now set autovacuum_freeze_max as low as 100000 (best set
vacuum_freeze_table_age accordingly). You'll have to come up with a
workload that doesn't overwrite all data continuously (otherwise
there'll never be old rows), but otherwise it should now be fairly easy
to test that kind of scenario.
There's also been a tool for forcibly advancing XID floating around for
quite some time. Using that could have the added benefit of verifying
anti-wrap still works correctly. (Might be worth testing mxid wrap too...)
