Is the VACUUM ANALYZE step faster, or is the overall job faster if
VACUUM ANALYZE is run?  You may be running into the need to rewrite
pages at an inopportune time or order without the VACUUM.  Have you
tried getting a time VACUUM FREEZE ANALYZE on these cache tables
instead of plain VACUUM ANALYZE?
