Whoa! Sounds like a slow disk IO subsystem, or the inability to take
advantage of a fast one.
PostgreSQL's PITR replication is already a working part of pgsql. Hot
stanbys are due in 9.0, and should produce no more load than they
already do in 8.4 or 8.3. Have you tried setting up PITR on pg 8.4 to
see how it impacts your server's performance?
