1.5 GB RAM, Pentium dual core, single 80 GB disk, Windows XP sp3, PostgreSQL 8.3.6
a table is like following:
-- Table: accgroups
-- DROP TABLE accgroups;
CREATE TABLE accgroups
(
accgroupid serial NOT NULL,
accgroupidname character varying(150) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''::character varying,
accgroupname character varying,
createdby integer DEFAULT 0,
createdtimestamp timestamp without time zone DEFAULT ('now'::text)::timestamp without time zone,
locked smallint,
lastmodifiedby integer DEFAULT 0,
lastmodifiedtimestamp timestamp without time zone,
remark character varying(255) DEFAULT NULL::character varying,
cobranchid integer DEFAULT 0,
.
.
.
.
againstid integer DEFAULT 0,
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
This table has currently 1,65,000+ rows.
Query is fairly simple.
update accgroups set cobranchid=2 where cobranchid=1;
Thanks

You're going to have to provide some sort of information before anyone
can help you.
You might want to start with: basic hardware details: ram, number of
disks etc, O.S. version, PostgreSQL version, basic configuration changes
you've made, sample queries that are slow along with explain analyse
output (if it's not just a blanket update), table definitions...
