What is the client application written in? Do you know what version of the postgres network protocol your driver code is using? Are the inserts inside a transaction?
I'm very interested in this issue since the environment I now work in has a lot of network connected databases and the performance is much less than I am used to with local databases.

changing the frequency of COMMIT operations, but with only a small effect.
Are you using separate INSERT statements? Try using COPY instead, it's much faster.
