Actually I think the main problem is that cost_delay value, which is
probably an order of magnitude too high.  The way to limit vacuum's
I/O impact on other stuff is to make it take frequent short delays,
not have it run full speed and then sleep a long time.  In any case,
your current settings have got it sleeping way too much.  Two WEEKS !!!??
