Yes, this is *definitely* your problem.  Upgrade to Postgres 8.1.1 or
Bizgres 0_8_1 and your COPY speed could double without even changing fsync
(depending on your disk speed).  We typically get 12-14MB/s from Bizgres on
Opteron CPUs and disk subsystems that can write at least 60MB/s.  This means
you can load 100GB in 2 hours.

Note that indexes will also slow down loading.
