I was unable to make the insert at that moment, after the changes to
postgresql.conf the speed increased, here is the explain:

As I said before the server is not yet in production, the expected
connections are 80-100 in normal day, the users tasks in the system
affects the following areas: inventory, sales, customers, banks, and
accounting basically, I know there is no rule for tuning but I'll
aprecciate your comment about the parameters for such scenario.

Since I have not tested the server with the production workload yet,
maybe my perpception of performance is not rigth focused, basically my
expectation is database must be faster than the current old legacy
Foxpro system.
