There is a bunch of interesting tables - see pg_stat_ and pg_statio_ tables. Don't forget the values grow all the time, so you'll have to do snapshots and subtract them. You could do that by hand, or use a tool for that. There is a "pgstatspack" (should work fine, although it's not developed since 8.1 AFAIK) and I'm working on an alternative tool with a web GUI (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgmonitor/). Still under development and I know about several issues, but generally works (thanks in advance for any feedback).
