As there's no robots.txt file, ( http://www.postgresql.org/robots.txt => 
404) it could just be a spider/crawler (e.g. google) hitting the site with 
many connections at once.

If that is an issue, I would suggest letting google et all, spider the 
static docs, and disallowing them from the dynamic idocs. However this 
would mean useful suggestions in the idocs won't turn up in google etc.
