I concur with the other poster on keeping shared_mem lower on this
older version. Also, you should be running at the very least the
latest version of 7.3, which is 7.3.21 and available here:
ftp://ftp-archives.postgresql.org/pub/source/
Tuning 7.3 is more an effort in futility at this point, considering
that a non-tuned 8.3 or 8.4 install will still be much much faster.
If the lack of auto-casts in 8.3 impacts you negatively then at least
look at 8.2.latest.
