The only thought that comes to mind is that multibyte character sets are
supported in 7.3 whereas they were optional (and not default) in 7.2.
I'd not have expected a factor-of-150 performance hit from that, though.

Could you rebuild your backend with profiling enabled and get a gprof
summary of where the time is going?
