I had a similar problem that I was able to solve by specifying the -B
option and having postgre use more RAM. By default postgre uses very
little memory, something like 100-200k, I set it to use 8M and my
queries were faster and I have yet to run into a out of memory problem.
I'm running RedHat 5.2 so I edited the /etc/rc.d/init.d/postmaster
script file. The new line now reads - su postgres -c
'/usr/bin/postmaster -i -B 1024 -S -D/var/lib/pgsql'
