OK, this sounds interesting, but I don't understand: why would an update
"chase down a lot of dead tuples" ? Should I read up on some docs, cause
I obviously don't know enough about how updates work on postgres...

And how would the analyze help in finding this out ? I thought it would
only show me additionally the actual timings, not more detail in what
was done...

Thanks,
Csaba.
