Not sure... my benchmark is designed to represent what the database
will do under "typical" circumstances, and unfortunately these are
typical for the application. However, I can see about adding some
delays, though multiple minutes would be absurd in the application.
Perhaps a 5-10 second day? Would that still be interesting?

Well, I don't have the numbers any more, but restarting the postmaster
has no effect, other than the first few hundreds COPYs are worse than
anything (3-4x slower), but then it goes back to following the trend
line. The data in the chart for v8.0.3 includes running pg_autovacuum
(5 minutes).
