Should also have mentioned that the number of extra pages is
the ceiling of (<num-pages>*(<page-size-in-bytes>/5)).
e.g. Assuming a page size of 1024 bytes, if you have 5 pages of
data your auto-vacuum database is 1 page bigger than the non-auto-vacuum
equivalent. If you have 210 pages of data, it's 2 pages bigger.
