Well, your index use problem is being explained by Tom, Stephan and Simon; basically your FKed data types are incompatible for index use purposes so the system *can't* use an index while loading. If you're going with the drop/load/recreate option, then I'd suggest increasing work_mem for the duration. Hmmm ... or maintenance_work_mem? What gets used for FK checks?
