So after turning off fsync & synchronous_commit (which I can afford as
I'm populating database from scratch)
I've stucked at 43 minutes for the mentioned table. There is no PK,
constrains, indexes, ... - nothing except for data.

The behaviour changed - I'm utilizing the core 100%, iostat shows the
write peaks about 70MB/s, the table shown by \d+ is growing all the
time as it growth before.
Is there anything I can look at?
Anyway the load to PG is much faster then dump from the old database
and the current load time is acceptable for me.
