My instance setup and configuration should be ok, but I am far from an expert (a startup founder has to wear many hats...), I simply followed advice found in Greg Smith book and what I read on the net.

I will also try to run the benchmarks again on a pure RAID1 configuration with fsync off, which I will use for read-only databases. I wonder if work_mem is too high? That's 1 GB per connection (max), but still a lot of RAM. Might want to try with more reasonable values, such as 16MB to 64MB. What are the iostat / vmstat numbers during the test?
