If this is the same posting made to perlmonks, my comment there also applies here.
If you are inserting 50,000 records rapidly with Pg, *you must* use transactions. Begin a transaction block, insert 1000 records, and commit it. repeat until done. Otherwise, Pg wraps EACH AND EVERY insert in a transaction block, and you rapidly go into thrash and slowdown mode. -- Randal L.
