You don't give nearly enough information.  To begin with, why do you think performance is poor?  What exactly are you
measuring? What does your application do, at least in broad terms?  Have you identified any particular SQL queries that
areslow, and if so, have you run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on them?  What is the output of EXPlAIN ANALYZE? 

What about your hardware, do you have a single disk, a huge RAID10 array, or something in between?  How much memory,
howmany processors? 

The more information you provide, the more likely you will get a good answer.
