Are you using the default UNICODE encoding for your databases??
This could potentially translate into a performance hit (considerable?

documentation of the postgresql.conf file.

Am I understanding correctly that you did this?? Just to double check,
yes, it is *very* important that you analyze the database *after loading

You could probably check the postgres log file to see if there are any
