Hello,

We are running  a PostgreSQL 8.4 database, with  two tables containing a
lot (>  1 million) moderatly  small rows. It contains some btree indexes,
and one of the two tables contains a gin full-text index.

We noticed  that the  autovacuum process  tend to use  a lot  of memory,
bumping the postgres process near 1Gb while it's running.

What is maintenance_work_mem set to in postgresql.conf?
