1. Are you using transactions?
2. Do you have an index on id?

Hi,

Thanks for answering...

1. I tried with and without transctions : same result. In the
tests I make right now, I have disable transactions.

2. yes, a unique index.

Each time I run a "VACUUM FULL", the process is very fast
again for 6-7 times (10-15s). After that, it takes again
about 2-3 minutes...
When I only run a "VACUUM" (not FULL), it doesn't make any difference.

Are you running vacuum after each batch of updates? You should run a
vacuum full to start and then (in order to keep the table size from
growing out of control) you should tack on a "vacuum analyze my_table"
at the end of each series of updates. (I would do this on top of making
it all one query as someone else posted)
