We were looking on how to improve the performance of our

our system.
That's a bad idea. Just design your database schema with performance in
mind, and use PostgreSQL normally with SQL queries. If you must, use a
general-purpose caching library in your application, instead of trying
to peek into PostgreSQL internals.
