Tom Lane 5b3ce2c911 Avoid unexpected slowdown in vacuum regression test.
I noticed the "vacuum" regression test taking really significantly longer
than it used to on a slow machine.  Investigation pointed the finger at
commit e415b469b3, which added creation of
an index using an extremely expensive index function.  That function was
evidently meant to be applied only twice ... but the test re-used an
existing test table, which up till a couple lines before that had had over
two thousand rows.  Depending on timing of the concurrent regression tests,
the intervening VACUUMs might have been unable to remove those
recently-dead rows, and then the index build would need to create index
entries for them too, leading to the wrap_do_analyze() function being
executed 2000+ times not twice.  Avoid this by using a different table
that is guaranteed to have only the intended two rows in it.

Back-patch to 9.0, like the commit that created the problem.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
