We got it working finally

1. We installed a kernel made for large memory machines from an RPM

2. in /etc/sysctl.conf
we added the following 3 lines

kernel.shmall = 805306368
kernel.shmmax = 805306368
kernel.shmmni = 8192
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128

3. In postgresql.conf
we set the shared_buffers to 50000

She is working flawless and very fast now.
Just the performance we needed!
