You'll want to tune shared_buffers and sort_mem. Possibly also
effective_cache_size. It really depends on your system.
Having tuned a ton of apps to work with PostgreSQL what I usually
do is write a small script that does the major resource intensive
queries on the database and time it. Tweak a PostgreSQL parameter
and re-run, wash, rinse, repeat until I get what I believe is the
best performance I can.
