If I'm getting the point of this thread correctly, have a huge amount of data in one table degrades INSERT/COPY performance even with just a PKEY index. If that's about the size of it, read on. If not, ignore me because I missed something.

I see the same thing every day with multi-million row tables. The bigger the table gets (with only a pkey index) the slower the inserts go. If I start over (truncate, drop/create table), or if I point the initial load at a new table, everything gets speedy. I've always figured it was a function of table size and learned to live with it... > How much memory have you got on the system?
