Greetings,
When I got in this morning, I found
an autovacuum process that had been running since just before the load
spiked,

Autovacuum might need to set the freeze bit very first time it runs.  I recall 
hearing advice about running a 'vacuum freeze' after you insert a huge amount 
of data.  And I recall pg_upgrade doesn't write stats, so did you analyze your 
database?

Or, maybe its not vacuum... maybe some of your sql statements are planning 
differently and running really bad.  Can you check some?  Can you log slow 
queries?

Have you checked the status of your raid?  Maybe you lost a drive and its in 
recovery and you have very slow IO?
