Yes. My bad. Deletes are not accounted in initializing analyze count but later 
they are used.

Me. Too. ATM all I can think of this patch attached. Josh, is it sufficient 
for you?..:-)

Matthew, I am confyused about one thing. Why would autovacuum count updates 
while checking for analyze threshold? Analyze does not change statistics 
right? ( w.r.t line 1072, pg_autovacuum.c). For updating statistics, only 
inserts+deletes should suffice, isn't it?

Other than that, I think autovacuum does everything it can.

Comments?
