And do you have reason to believe that process isn't ending when vacuum ends? Also, are you sure you need to be running vacuum full? It blocks access to each table as it runs, which will undoubtedly cause processes to back up waiting for access (which is exactly what that output of ps shows). My advice is to just let autovacuum handle things if at all possible. -- Jim C.
