This is a shockingly bad postgresql.conf. I'm not surprised you have
performance problems. Change this:
effective_cache_size = 4000
sort_mem = 4096
shared_buffers = 1000
wal_buffers = 8
Also, you need a LOT more RAM in your PostgreSQL machine, at least half
a gig for a basic database server.

You cannot do that in PostgreSQL.

shouldnot again go for processing. The result should be come from the cache. Is this possible in postgres ??
No, implement it in your application. Prepared queries and stored
procedures might help you here.
