insert 1M rows especially JSON that can be large, variable in size and
stored as blobs and indexed is not perhaps the correct way to do this
insert performance will also depend on your tuning. Supporting
transactions, users or bulk processing are 3x sides of a compromise.
you should perhaps consider that insert is for inserting a few rows into
live tables ... you might be better using copy or \copy, pg_dump if you are
just trying to replicate a large table
