As you've already been told repeatedly 7.4 is a release from long before
optimizations to work well on a multi-core server like this. I'll only
add that because of those problems, larger values of shared_buffers were
sometimes counter-productive with these old versions. You should try
reducing that to the 10,000-50000 range and see if things improve; that's
the general range that was effective with 7.4. Continue to set
effective_cache_size to a large value so that the optimizer knows how much
RAM is really available.
