I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "Scan the buffer cache to find
free space or use background writer", the other two are definitely high
priority todo items (at least as far as autovacuum in concerned).
I am thinking we could look for expired tuples when while they are in
the buffer cache or before they are written to disk so we don't have to
a sequential scan to find them.
Is that related to autovacuum? Or is that a potential feature inside the
actual vacuum command?

TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
