try to make the commit every 500 or 1000 inserts. It seems to me, that
PG slow down if there are lots of MBs waiting for commit ...
And also try to make a lot of inserts in one statement (50 or 100 is
OK), this reduces some overhead.

at least it reduces the perl time. I testes it sometime ago: With very
simple (!) statements, it was twice faster then without, as far as i
remember.
