Re: Performance die when COPYing to table with bigint PK

Seems this assumption is not right. Just created simple index on
bigint column - situation with huge performance
degradation repeated. Dropping this index solved COPY issues on the fly.
So I'm still convinced - this bug relates to FreeBSD 64-bit + UFS +
bigint column index
(some of these may be superfluous, but I have no resources to check on
different platforms with different filesystems).
