Dear Experts,

I need your suggestions to resolve the performance issue reported on our PostgreSQL9.1 production database having 1.5 TB Size. I have observed that, some select queries with order by clause are taking lot of time in execution and forcing applications to give slow response.

The configuration of database server is :

Architecture:         x86_64
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit
CPU's : 8
Core(s) per socket:    4
Socket(s):             2
Model name:            Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz

RAM : 32 GB
SWAP :8 Gb

Kernel parameter:

kernel.shmmax = 32212254720
kernel.shmall = 1073741824


Values of PostgreSQL.conf parameters are :

shared_buffers = 10GB
temp_buffers = 32MB
work_mem = 512MB
maintenance_work_mem = 2048MB
max_files_per_process = 2000
checkpoint_segments = 200
max_wal_senders = 5
wal_buffers = -1                      # min 32kB, -1 sets based on shared_buffers


Queries taking lot of time are:
