Our approach is to attach a segment to each core, so we scale INSERT
linearly on number of cores. So the per core limit we live with is the
10-20MB/s observed here. We'd like to improve that so that we get better
performance with smaller machines.
We have demonstrated insert performance of 670 MB/s, 2.4TB/hour for
non-toasted columns using 3 load machines against 120 cores. This rate was
load machine limited.
WRT toasted bytea columns we haven't done any real benchmarking of those.
Do you have a canned benchmark we can run?

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
