In recent major versions, autovacuum should normally keep you in
good shape.  The exception is when you make major changes to the
contents of a table (such as in a bulk data load) and then
immediately try to use the table before autovacuum has had time to
notice the activity and generate fresh statistics; for these cases
you probably want to do a manual run.
