With 4GB of memory this is definitely too low and *can* (note that I
don't say *must*) lead the planner to wrong decisions.

| shared_buffers | 15200

... looks reasonable. Did you test with other values?

| sort_mem | 524288

This is a bit high, IMHO, but might be ok given that DBT3 is not run
with many concurrent sessions (right?).
http://khack.osdl.org/stp/276912/results/plot/vmstat_swap.png shows
some swapping activity towards the end of the run which could be
caused by a too high sort_mem setting.
