Two comments still apply:

scale factor.
I don't think we need the sleep scaling factor. Before we had vacuum
delay settings, it might have been useful as a means of throttling down
the impact of autovacuum, but I think the delay settings are the better
way to go.
As for the custom vacuum_delay settings, Tom Lane's commented that it
probably wasn't needed. However I and several others responded saying
that it probably would be useful for certain use cases. I'm still not
sure how compelling that case is but it seems like a simple addition.
Perhaps this is something we can add for 8.2 if people seem to want it.
- There are still no docs.
I'm on the hook for this and will start working on them next week.
