How are you bunching your transactions? I mean how many updates per 
transaction?

And have you tried moving WAL to separate disk for such a update heavy 
environment? Have you are tuned FSM to take care of dead tuples generated in 
vacuum? Are you running autovacuum daemon?

All these things are almost a must for such update heavy environment..
