You should run Shark or Instruments to determine where the system is getting hung up. You will likely need to install developer tools. If you need help reading the profilers' output, please join up on an Apple list.

In my profiling of PostgreSQL under 10.4 with PostgreSQL 8.1, I found disappointing results with bottlenecks in the mutex-locked stdio. I suspect that the results in 10.5 may be drastically different.
