Josh,
 
The app servers are seperate dual-cpu boxes with 2GB RAM on each.
 
Yes, from all the responses i have seen, i will be reducing the numbers to what has 
been suggested.
 
Thanks to all,
anjan

        What?  PostgreSQL has always used the kernel cache for queries.

        Well, just keep in mind when tuning that your calculations should be based on
        *available* RAM, meaning RAM not used by Apache or the JVM.
        
        With that many concurrent requests, you'll want to be *very* conservative with
        sort_mem; I might stick to the default of 1024 if I were you, or even lower
        it to 512k.
