Postgres: 7.3.2
Query: All queries

Configuration:
max_connections = 1000  # Must be, if lower then 500 we become
connection-errors
shared_buffers = 5000        # 2*max_connections, min 16
max_fsm_relations = 1000    # min 10, fsm is free space map
max_fsm_pages = 2000000      # min 1000, fsm is free space map
max_locks_per_transaction = 64 # min 10
wal_buffers = 2000            # min 4

sort_mem = 32768             # min 32
vacuum_mem = 32768           # min 1024

fsync = false

enable_seqscan = true
enable_indexscan = true
enable_tidscan = true
enable_sort = true
enable_nestloop = true
enable_mergejoin = true
enable_hashjoin = true

effective_cache_size = 96000  # default in 8k pages


That are all uncommented lines. I've found the values in internet and
had tested it. But in performance are no difference between old
configuration an this.

I'll show tomorrow for this, today it is too late, the performance is
now perfect. It's only slow on this 2 hours with so many users on server.

Oh, and i can't update to 7.4. The Chat don't run with libraries of 7.4
