What does a "normal load" mean? Does that mean a time when the queries are
slow?

Are you sure the machine really has 48GB of RAM? Because from the vmstat
output it seems like there's just 32GB.

procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system--
----cpu----
  r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in   cs us sy
id wa
  0  0 1342168 336936 107636 31353512    0    0    14   183 1911 3426
2  1 93  4


1342168 + 336936 + 107636 + 31353512 = 33140252 ~ 31GB

BTW there's 1.3GB of swap, although it's not used heavily (according to
the vmstat output).

Otherwise I don't see anything wrong in the output. What is the size of
the database (use pg_database_size to get it)? Did it grow significantly
recently?
