You could give more resources to Postgre, in Debian/Ubuntu you can edit :

nano /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf

by replacing 9.4 by your postgre version .

Here are some useful lines that should be updated with example values to do so, names speak for themselves :

max_connections=100
shared_buffers = 3000MB
temp_buffers = 800MB
effective_io_concurrency = 300
max_worker_processes = 80

Be careful not to boost too much these parameters as it might lead to errors with Postgre trying to take more ressources than available. Examples above are running fine on a Debian 8GB Ram machine equiped with 4 cores.
