I almost proposed 1m rather than 10m, but then I thought the better of it. I think it's unlikely that an autovacuum that takes 1 minute is really the cause of some big problem you're having on your system. Typical problem cases I see are hours or days long, so even 10 minutes is pretty short. compared to what's likely to cause you real issues. And at the same time 10 minutes is also high enough that you won't get frequent log messages. 1 minute might not be: with 3 autovacuum workers by default, that could print out a message every 20 seconds, which does not feel worthwhile. I think a 10 minute threshold is much more likely to only capture events that you actually care about. Now I do think that a lot of people would benefit from a lower setting than 10 minutes, just to get more information about what's happening. But IMHO, making the default as low as 1 minute is a bit much. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
