Wow that's a very unusual problem. PostgreSQL usually recovers from that kind of thing easily. The only scenarios where I can picture this happening is if there was a power loss and a battery in a RAID got depleted or the same scenario with consumer grade SATA drives because they often lie about

Have you considered using a less drastic approach like partitioning some of the tables and tuning the ram. I some how doubt the single CPU core per query it the problem because PostgreSQL is very good at handling bulk queries as opposed to lots of queries for tiny data sets. Here is something you

The biggest thing with PostgreSQL is ram the more ram the happier it is. The number of concurrent clients isnt a big deal because they usually dont all connect at the same time. The section about pgtune here https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/PostgreSQLServerSetup isn't a bad place to start.
