Every INSERT in PostgreSQL is delayed in some sense: firstly, it is
not visible to anyone else until you commit, and secondly, it is
written first to the (supposedly fast) write-ahead log and only later
to the table files.

If you have problems with INSERT speed, describe hardware,
configuration, and table structure.
