Here are some numbers from a second local machine:
test | master | v7 | v10
-----------------+--------+------+------
from_bin_1col | 508 | 467 | 461
from_bin_10col | 2192 | 2083 | 2098
from_text_1col | 510 | 499 | 517
from_text_10col | 1970 | 1678 | 1654
to_bin_1col | 575 | 577 | 573
to_bin_10col | 2680 | 2678 | 2722
to_text_1col | 516 | 506 | 527
to_text_10col | 2250 | 2245 | 2235

This is confirming a speedup with COPY FROM for both text and binary,
with more impact with a larger number of attributes. That's harder to
conclude about COPY TO in both cases, but at least I'm not seeing any
regression even with some variance caused by what looks like noise.
We need more numbers from more people. Sutou-san or Sawada-san, or
any volunteers?
