Hei Tom, I got this information from my colleague:
> Is the problem repeatable?
Repeatable as in about 30+ times every day, the deletion of a row takes
more than 100 seconds. I have not found a way to provoke it though.
> Is the delay consistent?
No. I see frequently everything from below the 8 seconds
log_min_duration_statement to about 4900 seconds. As for distribution,
about half of the 30+ takes more than 500 seconds to complete, the rest
(obviously) between 100 and 500 seconds.

CPU 50% idle, rest mainly used in "system". Virtually no IO. No
blocked processes. An impressive amount of context switches. No swap.
An strace(1) of the postgres process may give a hint about the "system"
part; this is what it does over and over and over again. The filename
does change to a different file in the same directory every now and
then, but not often.
