Something like

vmstat 10 > vmstat.log

How many pgsql processes are there when this happens?  Try something like

ps axu|grep postgres

to see.  use

ps axu|grep postgres|wc -l

to get a rough count.  I'm guessing that your web service layer is
keeping old connections open.  could be something as ugly as php's
pg_pconnect or a buggy jdbc driver, etc...
