They're probably not blocking each other but more likely you're
exhausting your servers resources. If they return "eventually"
individually, then running both at the same time will take at least
"eventually x2".
As Mark said, what are the queries? What postgres version? What o/s?
What are your hardware specs (how much memory, disk speeds/types etc)?
