We are reindexing frequently, and I'm wondering if
this is really necessary, given that it appears to
take an exclusive lock on the table.

Our table in question is vacuumed every 4 minutes, and
we are reindexing after each one.

I'm not a fan of locking this table that frequently,
even if it is only for 5 - 10 seconds depending on
load.

The vacuum is a standard vacuum.  Nightly we do a
vacuum analyze.

Thanks for any tips,
...Markus
