High CPU usage buy low I/O wait - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Our server is running postgresql 8.4.15. During day time the cpu usage always
around 80%, but it's not IO bound. The swap space is looking OK also. Also
we setup pgbadger and enable all logs to monitor the slow query but they all
finished quick. Usually it has 60 incoming connections, and we have
pgbouncer to control the pool. Any suggestions I can look into it? Thank
you.
