Hello.
This does not sound like a cayenne issue any more. Here is what I
would do to get going.
* Remove the extra OS layer if you are still using it. Was it
Parallells?
* Update to latest PostgreSQL and JDBC driver.
* Use vacuum analyze and autovacuum
* Find slow queries and use "explain <query>"
* Make sure PostgreSQL are set up with enough memory.
* Ask on pgsql-performanc..ostgresql.org
Regards,
- Tore.
