Does autovac maintain its state/counters across restats as to who need to be vacuumed/analyzed? Or does killing autovac cause it to reset the counters for the vacuum/analyze threshholds?
Depends on the version. The contrib autovacuum does not maintain state through a restart. The integrated version (8.0 and 8.1) can maintain state as long as you don't have the stat system configured to reset on restart.
