By all means, please upgrade.
The newest 7.3 series version is 7.3.16, which fixes lots of critical
bugs, and can be used as a drop-in replacement for 7.3.4 (see Release
Notes at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/interactive/release.html )
The newest stable release is 8.1.5, and 8.2 is just on the roads...

"with only on resultset"?
You mean "with only one returned row", I presume.
Each SELECT has exactly one resultset, which can contain zero to many rows.
Please check the following:
- Did you create the appropriate indices?
- Version 7.3.X may suffer from index bloat, so REINDEX might help.
- Did you VACUUM and ANALYZE the table properly?
- Is your free space map setting, the statistics targets, and other
config options tuned to fit your environment?
- Maybe a VACUUM FULL or a CLUSTER command may help you.
> for a single select with one field in one resultset, is 0.86 seconds normal?
That depends on the circumstances.
