These seem pretty reasonable... apart from the effective cache size,
maybe chop off a zero :
effective_cache_size = 170000 # about 1.2G
I wonder if the original setting, 6 times your ram (if my arithmetic is
ok) *may* result in funny optimizer choices....
The thing to do next is examine EXPLAIN outputs for your queries, and
consider what smarter access plans might be possible (e.g. indexes,
partial indexes) and then maybe clever data re-orgizations (e.g.
clusters, trigger based summaries of aggregates) if you still need more
speed.
