You can do some things:

- set log_min_duration_statement = X to log all statments with a
  duration more than X ms. I'm not sure, if this possible with 7.4
- select * from pg_stat_activity;
  you should enable stats_command_string ;-)


Now you can identify your expensive querys and anaylse this with
EXPLAIN.
