My another guess is that those many files were generated by initial data load and have remained up to now. No? Anyway, you can check whether your system is still generating so many WAL files now, by periodically calling pg_current_xlog_location(). This function returns the current WAL write location, so if the rate of increase of that location is small, you don't need to worry about the number of files.
