this is likely your problem...with fsync on (as you have it), you will
be lucky to get a couple of hundred transactions/sec out of the
database. you are probably just exceeding your operational
capabilities of the hardware so you probably need to upgrade or turn
off fsync (which means data corruption in event of hard crash).
