Got it. 
Thanks. 
Any special parameter to tune it? Like wal_buffers or shared_buffers?

Could any one please tell me why my system is waiting to get lock for an INSERT statement?

"on extension of relation" means that it needs to add 8KB to the end of the table.  That it takes so long to obtain that locks suggests you have a some serious IO congestion.
