That would be consistent with a single-disk problem.

1) Install the 2nd disk.
2) With PostgreSQL shut down, copy the PGDATA/pg_xlog directory to the 2nd
disk.
3) delete the old pg_xlog directory
4) Symlink or Mount the new pg_xlog directory under PGDATA as PGDATA/pg_xlog.
5) Restart Postgres.
What I am interested in is your original assertion that this ran faster on
Oracle. Was Oracle installed on this particular machine, or a different
one?
