Is using a ramdisk in situations like this entirely ill-advised then? When data integrity isn't a huge issue and you really need good write performance it seems like it wouldn't hurt too much. Unless I am missing something?

I'm doing the writes individually. Is there a better way? Combining them all into a transaction or something?


Use COPY of course :)

Or at worst bundle 1000 inserts at a time in a transation...

And if you seriously do not care about your data at all, set fsync = off in you postgresql.conf for a mega speedup.
