I think I'll upgrade PostgreSQL to the latest 8.3 version in the next

this
has already a noticeable impact on the performance.
Note that if you have a good RAID controller with battery backed cache
and write back enabled, then you're probably better or / at least as
well off using four disks in a RAID-10 than two separate RAID-1 sets
(one for xlog and one for data).
I just wanted to let you know that upgrading Postgres from 8.1 to 8.3,
RAM from 1.5GB to 4GB and changing from a 3 disk RAID5 to 2x RAID1 (OS &
WAL, Tablespace) led to a significant speed increase. What's especially
important is that those randomly slow queries seem to be gone (for now).
Thanks for all the help.
Cheers,
Tom
