What's taking up all the space is probably several 16MB WAL files -
unrelated to your data size.
PostgreSQL is an enterprise class DB engine, MySQL isn't - you have to
accept that it takes up more room and requires more power. Still, it does
seem a little large for what you have in there? Do you have heaps and heaps
of indexes? Have you run VACUUM FULL? Have you run the reindexdb script?
