academic exercise? :-)
The files for the two indices on a single table used 7.8GB of space
before a reindex, and 4.4GB after. The table had been reindexed over
the weekend and a vacuum was completed on the table about 2 hours ago.
The two indices are now 3.4GB smaller. I don't think this counts as
bloat, because of our use case. Even so, we reindex our whole database
every weekend.
