According to HISTORY, there was a significant fix in this area in 8.1:

* Add "ALTER TABLE ENABLE/DISABLE TRIGGER" to disable triggers
(Satoshi Nagayasu)

I think your chances of successfully back-porting something like that from
8.1 to 7.4.x are way lower than your chances of fixing your application to
use a later database system. Also, if you get off 7.4, you get rid of the
horrifying checkpoint storms in that version, and get a whack of other
improvements and bugfixes.
