Autovaccum is enabled by default in 8.3.7 , but i reduced the nap time so that it happens more frequently. My personal opinion is that certain parameters in postgres.conf are simply too technical in nature for a application developer like me, it becomes more of a trial and error kind of frustrating process. If there a utility that understands the system specification on which postgres is going to run and change the paramters accordingly, that would help.
