I think you need to provide more information to get any help with your

For one thing, why are you restarting? Are you restarting the server?
Postgres? In general, there should be no need to restart either.
Next, what do you mean by broken bad after a full vacuum?

, needs to be a
system
restart.
If we do not do that restart, then things are 'broken bad', as the
system
becomes incredibly slow. Not broken after the vacuum, it is a gradual
decline in performance.
Hope that makes more sense.
Many thanks

Well, there's always the dbsize module in contrib to check actual size
on disk. I was thinking more in terms of approximate numbers of tables
and rows in those tables.
