Hmmm ... in performance tests of bulk inserts into a table with six indexes, I
found that without vacuum analyze (rather than analyze), insertion slowed down
albeit something less than linearly. Table of 6M rows, about 3GB (including
index files).
This is 7.4.1 on SuSE Linux, RAID5 Xeon(sigh) 2.8GHz 4GB nothing else running.
The inserts were always done with an existing record check (LEFT JOIN ... WHERE
joinkey IS NULL).
