800*60*60*24 = 69 million per day... are you doing 2.5 million with
burst of up to 800 per second?

we average around 190 tps, though the high burst i see in the last few
seconds is only 270... about 1/3 of those are inserts and/or updates.

the box its running on is a dual pentium 1.3ghz with 1GB of RAM. it's
not optimal hardware either (only 2 disks for starters), but it runs
pretty solidly and the server its on doesn't seem too taxed..

i feel pretty confident that postgresql can handle your workload without
much trouble, you just need to give it enough hardware.
