I'm not against that, but I it doesn't address the issue that with the current
logic one set of values just isn't going to fit a 60MB that's allowed to burst

Hmm, I don't know about the validity of this. I've seen plenty of cases

I agree it's a
Hi,
As I mentioned in my talk at 2024.pgconf.dev, I think that the biggest
problem with autovacuum as it exists today is that the cost delay is
sometimes too low to keep up with the amount of vacuuming that needs
to be done. I sketched a solution during the talk, but it was very
complicated, so I
