Title: Re: Benchmark Data requested --- pgloader CE design ideas

Improvements are welcome, but to compete in the industry, loading will need to speed up by a factor of 100.

Note that Bizgres loader already does many of these ideas and it sounds like pgloader does too.

pgloader already supports starting at any input file line number, and limit
itself to any number of reads:

  -C COUNT, --count=COUNT
                        number of input lines to process
  -F FROMCOUNT, --from=FROMCOUNT
                        number of input lines to skip

So you could already launch 4 pgloader processes with the same configuration
fine but different command lines arguments. It there's interest/demand, it's
easy enough for me to add those parameters as file configuration knobs too.

Still you have to pay for client to server communication instead of having the
backend read the file locally, but now maybe we begin to compete?
