Have you tried fiddling with the checkpointing settings? Check your logs --
if you get a warning about checkpoints being too close together, that should
give you quite some boost.

Apart from that, you should have quite a bit to go on -- somebody on this
list reported 2 billion rows/day earlier, but it might have been on beefier
hardware, of course. :-)
