The reason for using \COPY here is that you otherwise have to be superuser to copy (with the plain COPY) the data into a created table. I'm building a web interface where the user will copy his data into the db himself and thus obviously cannot be the superuser. Of course, that can be done with INSERT too but a COPY is much faster.
