Application takes longer time to fetch large no of records from Postgresql 9.0.3 - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,
My application takes longer time (we see time out even) when data to be fetched from Postgresql 9.0.3 is around 1900000 records. I am doing an improvement at application level, but from database side any performance tuning do i need to do?

I have not changed any parameters in postgresql.conf, so using default values.

Any recommendations to improve the performance.

My PC has RAM of 4 GB (Windows 2003 R2 64 BITS)

Regards
