That's REALLY small for pgsql.  Assuming your machine has at least 1G
of ram, I'd set it to 128M to 256M as a minimum.

As I wrote in a previous email, I had the value set to 1792MB (the highest I could set) and had the same execution time. This value is not helping me to bring down the execution time.
