This makes me think you have a trigger problem.  You don't say what
version you're running, but my guess is that you need to disable all
your triggers, and remove all your indices, before you start loading
the data.  Re-enable them afterwards.

By building the schema first, then loading the data, you're spending
cycles running triggers &c.
