I see.  Perhaps earlier I alienated some people by talking about
transactions per second, which is not necessarily an appropriate unit.

Thanks for the tip.

This is one of those areas where postgresql acts very differently from
other dbs.  In lots of other dbs big transactions are the performance
killer.  In PostgreSQL big transactions are the way to get better
performace.
