+    The <xref linkend="guc-autovacuum-max-workers"> setting limits how many
+    workers may be running at any time. If several large tables all become
+    eligible for vacuuming in a short amount of time, all autovacuum workers
+    may end up vacuuming those tables for a very long time. This would result
+    in other tables and databases not being vacuumed until a worker became
+    available. There is also not a limit on how many workers might be in a
+    single database, but workers do try and avoid repeating work that has
+    already been done by other workers. Note that the number of running
