Christophe Pettus: Parallel Autovacuum: It’s Not About The CPU
PostgreSQL 19 adds parallel autovacuum, letting the vacuum process split index‑cleanup work across multiple workers. The feature only accelerates tables that have several or expensive indexes, because the heap scan remains single‑threaded. In I/O‑constrained environments, extra workers often add context‑switch overhead without improving throughput. Administrators should enable it per‑table only when storage can keep up and monitor its impact with pg_stat_progress_vacuum.
