And this is a problem because .... ?
High CPU usage is a *good* thing. Under perfect tuning, Postgres would
hit about 97% CPU usage ... for about 0.1 seconds (or less, depending
on your processor). The more CPU power used, the faster the query is
solved.
If you're having performaince problems, I suspect that they are located
somewhere other than your CPU.
