Our approach is to attach a segment to each core, so we scale INSERT linearly on number of cores. So the per core limit we live with is the 10-20MB/s observed here. We'd like to improve that so that we get better performance with smaller machines. We have demonstrated insert performance of 670 MB/s, 2.4TB/hour for non-toasted columns using 3 load machines against 120 cores. This rate was load machine limited. WRT toasted bytea columns we haven't done any real benchmarking of those. Do you have a canned benchmark we can run? - Luke
