When I remove foreign constraints (drones_history_fk__samples and
drones_history_fk__drones) (I leave the primary key on drones_history)
than that INSERT, even for 50k rows, takes no more than a second.
So, my question is - is there anything I can do to make INSERTS with PK
faster? Or, since all the reference checking is done inside the
procedure for loading data, shall I abandon those constraints entirely?

Maybe... or not. Can you post details about :
- the foreign keys
- the tables that are referred to (including indexes)
CREATE TABLE foo (x INTEGER PRIMARY KEY); INSERT INTO foo SELECT * FROM
generate_series( 1,100000 );
Temps : 766,182 ms
test=> VACUUM ANALYZE foo;
Temps : 71,938 ms
test=> CREATE TABLE bar ( x INTEGER REFERENCES foo(x) );
CREATE TABLE
test=> INSERT INTO bar SELECT * FROM generate_series( 1,100000 );
Temps : 2834,430 ms
As you can see, 100.000 FK checks take less than 3 seconds on this very
simple example. There is probably something that needs fixing.
