I think you're confusing oracle and pgsql a bit there.  But yeah, he
needs to get all the stats collection stuff running and he should
consider a migration to 8.3 if he's not already there.  At least 8.2
where current_query in the pg_stats_activity table is very cheap and
can be turned on without slowing down an already slow server.
