If you are inserting into an empty table with primary key (or other
constraints), you can run ANALYZE on that table in 1-2 minutes after you
have started the INSERTs, so that constraint-checking logic will do the
right thing (use inedex for pk).
in my tests I achieved about 9000 inserts/sec by using multiple
inserting frontends and ~100 inserts per transaction (no indexes, 6
columns, 4 processors, 2GB memory, test clients running on same
computer)
