You might be able to catch the pages with dead tuples in RAM, but currently there's no way to keep VACUUM from reading in all the clean pages, which can be far more ...
Which leads us to a zero gravity vacuum, that does the lazy vacuum for pages currently available in the buffer cache only. And another pg_stat column telling the number of tuples vacuumed so that an autovac has a chance to avoid IO consuming vacuum runs for relations where 99% of the dead tuples have been caught in memory.
