Yep. If you've never done that, or not done it a long time, you might want
to do a few manual runs first at larger time intervals to prune things in
tages, e.g. select bucardo_purge_delta('1 week'::interval); The function
will output the number of rows removed. Once you are caught up, it's
prbably a good idea to vacuum both of those tables as well. Perhaps even a
vacuum full and then reindex if there were many rows removed, and you can
stand the locking hit.
