Have you thought of / tried using 2 separate databases or tables and
switching between them? Since you seem to be updating all the values, it
might be a lot faster to re-create the table from scratch without
indexes and add those later (maybe followed by a VACUUM ANALYZE) ...
That said, I'm not entirely sure how well postgres' client libraries can
deal with tables being renamed while in use, perhaps someone can shed
some light on this.
