Need to upgrade? That's a bit of an understatement. If you're able
to do so, I'd strongly recommend it as PostgreSQL has dramatically
improved in every area since then.

I think you'll need a PostgreSQL veteran to help you out there. All I
can think of is you take a look at the earliest available
documentation (7.2 from what I can tell) and try looking into those
settings: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.2/static/runtime-config.html
