from my previous mail:

before looking further, please configure shared_buffers and
effective_cache_size properly, it's fundamental
you'll probably need to raise SHMALL/SHMMAX, take a look at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/kernel-resources.html
for 4GB of RAM I would start with shared_buffers to 512MB and
effective_cache_size to 2GB
