You may want to try disabling hyperthreading, if you don't mind
rebooting.

Looks like your growing dataset won't fit in your OS disk cache any
longer. Isolate your most problematic queries and check out their
query plans. I bet you have some sequential scans that used to read
from cache but now need to read the disk. An index may help you.
More RAM wouldn't hurt. =)
