I have an application that is prone to sudden, unscheduled high bursts of activity, and I am finding that the application design permits me to detect the activity bursts within an existing function. The bursts only affect 3 tables, but degradation becomes apparent after 2,000 updates, and significant after 8,000 updates.
Hmm - assuming your free-space settings are large enough, it might be adequate to just run a vacuum on the 3 tables every 5 minutes or so. It sounds like these are quite small tables with a lot of activity, so if there's not much for vacuum to do it won't place too much load on your system.
