If it works fine under 9.2, why would it be a problem in 9.3 and 9.4?
Keep in mind the question is not "let's make this as fast as possible"
but rather "let's make this on par with 9.2".
One thing to look at is the rate of WAL generation for a set number of
transactions. Maybe the later releases are generating more WAL due to
multixacts, for instance (prior to 9.3 these weren't wal-logged.)
