In real terms, it's generally triggered by a query joining against a very 
large table requiring a seq scan.

You can probably find the "bad queries" just by using PQA, and looking for 
select, delete and update queries which last over 60 seconds.

That would be an OS question.    I personally can't see how.

It's well understood.   See the archives of this list.   The problem is that 
implementing the solution is very, very hard -- 100+ hours from a top-notch 
programmer.  I'm still hoping to find a corporate sponsor for the issue ...
