Well, the default configuration for postgresql 7.1.3 is *very*
conservative. ( ie. very slow)
You should seriously consider upgrading to 7.4.6 as server performance
has increased; in some cases significantly.
If that is not an option, certainly tuning the shared buffers, and
effective cache settings would be advisable.

still, with large volume of data in database the

What are the performance when you use COPY FROM instead of INSERT ?
And have you tested the performance with fsync on and off.
