There are three things I can think of right off the bat.
First, the performance of foreign keys is flat-out awful in Postgres.
I suggest avoiding them if you can.
Second, ordering joins explicitly (with the JOIN keyword) constrains
the planner, and may select bad plan. The explain analyse output
was nice, but I didn't see the query, so I can't tell what the plan
maybe ought to be.
Third, I didn't see any suggestion that you'd moved the WAL onto its
own disk. That will mostly help when you are under write load; I
guess it's not a problem here, but it's worth keeping in mind.
