I'm afraid you'll have to provide more info than you have... For 7.1.3, what
queries are taking so long? You VACUUM'd your database often (if lots of
updates, inserts and deletes were happening, yes)?
For 7.2b4 - it shouldn't crash, but do you have any clue when it does or
what query/situation might be to blame -- possibly even a backtrace from a
core file you could submit?
Also, this is probably best on -general or -bugs if you have some specific
crash info.
Good luck!
