note database write performance on a windows desktop system thats
probably using one desktop hard drive is going to be a LOT slower than a
proper dedicated database server.

inserting lots of rows into a table that has a multiple indexes is also
quite time consuming. in fact, if you're starting with an empty
table, don't create ANY indexes til AFTER you populate the table with
data, and before doing the CREATE INDEX, make sure
'maintenance_work_mem' is like 1GB.
