Hi Sonia,
Have you tuned the PostgreSQL memory configuration, or is it still at
it's defaults?
The default memory allocation is really, really, really small, and is
only that way just in case someone loads PostgreSQL onto a server with
almost no memory (like 32MB or something).
The memory configuration is controlled by the postgresql.conf
configuration file, and I think you'll find Bruce Momjian's guide on
PostgreSQL tuning to be very useful :

:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
