Performance Issues in 7.4.3

From

My previous post about slow updates w/ 7.4.2 needed a multi-column index to get speed comparable to Sybase.  When I
wentto 7.4.3 (Slackware 9.1) w/ JDBC, the improvements are that it doesn't initially take much memory (have 512M) and
didn'tswap.  I ran a full vaccum and a cluster, however speed degaded to 1 *second* / update of one row in 150 rows of
data,within a day!  pg_autovacuum now gives excellent performance.  What happened?

This is not a jdbc question and is probably more appropriate for the
-general list.

There also is a pgsql-performance@postgresql.org mailing list
specifically for performance questions.
