I had a look into the documentation of postgres.conf, and tried a lot with changing paramters I thought would improve the performance, but in vain.
Autovaccum is enabled by default in 8.3.7 , but i reduced the nap time so that it happens more frequently.
My personal opinion is that certain parameters in postgres.conf are simply too technical in nature for a application developer like me, it becomes more of a trial and error kind of frustrating process.
If there a utility that understands the system specification on which postgres is going to run and change the paramters accordingly, that would help.
Thanks,

autovacuum is enabled by default on PG 8.3 as well.
