Default 7.4.7 vs. 8.1

Hi,

I am ready to install ver. 8.1 to our db server, but I have some
questions about it.
When I use autovacuum (8.1) is it required to use "vacuum analyze" for
maintenance or autovacuum is enough?
We have 2 processors (hyperthread) and is it needed to configure the
psql to use it or is it enough to configure the kernel base only?
Is 8.1 stable?

Thanks
Szabek

autovacuum should be enough.

Turn _off_ hyperthreading; it's more likely to do harm than good.

Yes. Note that 8.1.1 should be out quite soon.
