3) shared_buffers = 20000

4) Yes, I am vacuuming & analyzing the database once every day.

37GB isn't all that huge; as the FAQ mentions, much larger databases
exist. Without more information we'll have to ask some of the
standard questions:
What's your hardware configuration?
What operating system and version are you using?
What are your non-default postgresql.conf settings?
Are you vacuuming and analyzing the database regularly?
How much concurrent activity do you have?
Does anything other than PostgreSQL run on the box?
If you have a specific query that's slow then please post the EXPLAIN
ANALYZE output. Also, you might get more help on the pgsql-performance
list.
