While on the subject I finally found the solution to a problem I (and one
or two other people) posted about without answer. (So sometimes it's slow
mailing list support).
In importing about 5 million records (which I copy in blocks of 10000) the
copy became linearly slower. After a friend RTFM and refered me, I used
the -F switch (passed by the postmaster to the backend processes) and the
time became linear and a LOT shorter. Import time for the 5000000 records
now the same (or maybe even slightly faster, I didn't accurately time
them) as importing the data into oracle on the same machine.
