I don't have any experience with taking weblogic from oracle to postgres,
but you might try posting some more details regarding the insert/update that
you are doing.
I'd also recommend (since you're just at the beginning of your project?)
that you switch to postgres 7.2.1 instead of using 7.1.3. This will allow
you to run vacuums without locking the table.
Have you run a vacuum analyze, as well?
