No guarantees that this is the problem, but I have seen similar issues
in other software because of delays introduced in the TCP stack by the
Nagle algorithm. Turning on TCP_NODELAY has solved such problems. I
don't know if PostgreSQL is vulnerable to this, or how it would be fixed
in a PostgreSQL environment, but it might give you another avenue to
search.
