You really should apply the fixes for bugs and security
vulnerabilities which are available. Some of those may address a
relevant performance problem.

We really need to see your configuration, along with a description
of the machine. One common cause for such a slowdown is not having
autovacuum configured to be aggressive enough. Another possible
cause is a transaction which has been left open for too long. Look
at pg_stat_activity and pg_prepared_xacts for xact_start or
prepared more than an hour old.
