I should have noted that we are still using 7.4 on our production servers. We
are planning an upgrade to 8.x later this year, so it is very plausible that
the new caching algorithms would help immensely. We are planning on moving
to a backup off of a slony slave at that point as well, so the issue will
probably be moot for us though it would still be nice to be able to do a
backup off of a running production machine.

Interesting, I didn't know that, thanks for the pointer. We will look into
it.
