How did you get 8.3-beta4? If you used the RPMs available from the PostgreSQL FTP site, those are optimized for finding bugs at the expense of speed. If that's where you got them from, try putting this line in your postgresql.conf and testing 8.3 again:

debug_assertions = false

If things speed up considerably you're suffering from that issue, and may need to build your own copy of 8.3 from source in order to get a fair comparision.

Production system:
#autovacuum = off                       # enable autovacuum subprocess?

New system's postgresql.conf:

I didn't see anything about autovacum on the new system. If it's off on 8.2 and on in 8.3 (the default) that might be contributing to your difference.

Also, I hope you don't normally run your production system with fsync=off as that's kind of scary.
