First of all, there's no reason to increase wal_buffers above 32MB. AFAIK
the largest sensible value is 16MB - I doubt increasing it further will
improve performance.

Second - effective_cache_size is just a hint how much memory is used by
the operating system for filesystem cache. So this does not influence
amount of allocated memory in any way.

Are you sure it's PostgreSQL. What else is running on the box? Have you
analyzed why the SQL queries are slow (using EXPLAIN)?
