Maybe a redesign of the query is a better idea.
What about creating indexes?

If you provide info about the tables and the query
maybe we can help you.

Your table is very small (just 120.000 rows) but think
about cache a table of millions of rows thats not
optimus.

There are some docs talking about modifiyng the
postgresql.conf, but i said info about your database,
your tables and data is needed.

Maybe the PERFORMANCE list is more adecuate.
