Huh? I am an Oracle DBA with some experience in Postgres and have 
experienced many performance drops after a version upgrade and precisely 
0 of those performance drops were caused by "imminent disk failure".
I would check whether the plans have changed, what is the difference in 
parameters, check where the time is spent by using perf or strace and 
check the logs. If the plans have changed, try installing pg_hint_plan 
extension and force the desired plans. Then compare.
