At the very least, upgrade to latest 7.4 minor version. It probably won't help with you're performance, but 7.4.3 is very old. There's been a *lot* of bug fixes between 7.4.3 and 7.4.18, including fixes for security vulnerabilities and data corruption bugs.

Does anyone have any ideas what my bottle neck might be and what I can do about it?

Your bottleneck is that you are using a very old version of PostgreSQL. Try 8.2 or (if you can) the 8.3 beta series -- it scales a _lot_ better in this
kind of situation.
