onething I noticed is I need to change the configuration of the system to house pgsql_tmp on a host partition instead
ofthe drive array... that will get me a little more speed... is this controlled via a .conf file or pgamin?

You can try setting temp_tablespaces in your postgreqsl.conf file to
use a tablespace defined over another part of your disk subsytem.
Eg. create tablespace some_tablespace location '/some/path';
temp_tablespaces = 'some_tablespace';
Then reload your postgresql.conf file. Not sure if it's going to help
you or not, though.
