Fixed.

Good idea.  I put my own spin on it in the attached.  Please let me know
what you think.

I mean, that's kind of the point.  Once a table surpasses one of the
failsafe thresholds, we want its score to be so exorbitantly high that
autovacuum is all but guaranteed to process it first.  I see no particular
advantage to tempering the score in that case.

+ * This function also returns a score that can be used to sort the list of

+ * are furthest beyond their thresholds (e.g., a table nearing transaction ID
+ * wraparound should be vacuumed first).  This prioritization scheme is
+ * certainly far from perfect; there are simply too many possibilities for any

+ * change significantly between the time we calculate the score and the time
+ * that autovacuum gets to processing it.  However, we have attempted to
+ * develop something that is expected to work for a large portion of workloads
+ * with reasonable parameter settings.
+ *
+ * The score is calculated as the maximum of the ratios of each of the table's
+ * relevant values to its threshold.  For example, if the number of inserted
+ * tuples is 100, and the insert threshold for the table is 80, the insert
+ * score is 1.25.  If all other scores are below that value, the returned score
+ * will be 1.25.  The other criteria considered for the score are the table
+ * ages (both relfrozenxid and relminmxid) compared to the corresponding
+ * freeze-max-age setting, the number of updated/deleted tuples compared to the
+ * vacuum threshold, and the number of inserted/updated/deleted tuples compared
+ * to the analyze threshold.
+ *
+ * One exception to the previous paragraph is for tables nearing wraparound,
+ * i.e., those that have surpassed the effective failsafe ages.  In that case,
+ * the relfrozen/relminmxid-based score is scaled aggressively so that the
+ * table has a decent chance of sorting to the top of the list.
+ *
+ * To adjust how strongly each component contributes to the score, the
+ * following parameters can be adjusted from their default of 1.0 to anywhere
+ * between 0.0 and 1.0 (inclusive).  Setting all of these to 0.0 restores
+ * pre-v19 prioritization behavior:
