You have given almost no information that can be used to help you. In
particular, you seem to be mixing up Java performance and database
performance (JAVA_OPTS has nothing to do with pg performance).
How do you know your performance is low? What is your hardware, what
performance do you get and what do you expect?
If after this you are still convinced the problem is database-related,
you will probably need to run a tool like
http://pqa.projects.postgresql.org/ to search which queries are slow and
then start analyzing each particular query.
In short, there is no magical answer to your question :)
