I tried

* to downgrade to 9.2.2
* to disable autovacuum
* to disable synchronous commit
* to write less on the big tables
* to increase checkpoint segments
* to increase max connections
* to move pg_xlog to sepe

None of them helps to avoid downtimes. I could not find anything related
to it? Do you have any idea? Have you ever experience something like this?
