That's not *nearly* enough given that level of row turnover. You need
to be vacuuming that table about once a minute if not more often, and
you need to be sure that there aren't any long-running transactions that
would prevent vacuum from removing dead rows.
Try a VACUUM VERBOSE after the system has gotten into a slow state to
get more info about exactly what's happening.
