Re: How to speed-up inserts with jdbc

couple of things

1) That is a fairly old version of postgres, there are considerable
performance improvements in the last 2 releases since, and even more in
the pending release.
2) If you are going to insert more rows than that, consider dropping the
index before, and recreating after the insert.
