That is due to queries doing sorts or (hash) joins. You can log which
queries are doing this with the log_temp_files parameter.
Now it might be that this is just normal/expected (e.g complex data
warehouse style workload), but it could also be many small queries that
might benefit from some additional indexes (logging the queries will
help you decide what if anything needs to be done).
