What exactly is it getting slower doing?

Have you run through the usual gamut of things to check - shared
buffers, vacuum analyzig, etc. etc.

What ver of PG?

What OS?

Can you post any schema/queries?

Normalizing can help. But I don't think it is going to be a magical
bullet that will make the DB instantly fast.  It will reduce the size of
it though.
