Should I be looking to offload expensive reporting queries to read-only
replicants of my database?

Yes, definitely look into setting up something like a slony slave
that's used for reporting queries.  The nice thing about this setup is
you only need to replicate the tables you run reports against.


I would look at fixing the slow queries so that they aren't a problem first.

I'm sure if you send in your queries and table defs you can get some useful feedback here.

If there is no way of improving them then look at a reporting slave.
