You should uncomment them, and play with different settings. I'd try a
commit_delay of 100, and commit_siblings of 5 to start with.

You should use at least 7.4.13 as it fixes some critical buts that were
in 7.4.6. They use the same on-disk format and query planner logic, so
they should not have any difference.

I don't have much more ideas what the problem could be.

Can you try to do some profiling (e. G. with statement logging) to see
what specific statements are the one that cause high cpu load?

Are there other differences (besides the PostgreSQL version) between the
two installations? (Kernel, libraries, other software...)

HTH,
