+
+     <para>
+      Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
+      lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
+      when there are conflicting lock requests.  Under load, it is easily
+      possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
+      Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
+      attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue.  This fix also greatly
+      reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
+      conflicting request arrives.

+      Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads
+      (Jan Wieck)
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
+      lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
+      when there are conflicting lock requests.  Under load, it is easily
+      possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
+      Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
+      attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue.  This fix also greatly
+      reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
+      conflicting request arrives.
