Ok, I turned off XDMCP and network bandwidth utilization dropped to less than 5%. Timings remained the same. Curiously five times faster time for Oracle came from a client running on a different host than the server. To make things worse for Postgres, when I replace "hostname" in jdbc string to "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 it runs another 60% slower (446 sec vs 275 sec). Strange. Before I take this discussion to jdbc list, why is CPU utilization 100% during insert ? could that be a bottleneck. How to eliminate it ? These are Intel WordCrest 5110 Xeon cores.
when loading to oracle, does it utilize more than one core? istm your best bet would be to split load process to 4+ backends... merlin
