So 26G takes 95 minutes, or 27 MB/minute or 456k/second? Sound about
right (it's early, I haven't had enough coffee please check my math).
That's pretty slow unless you're working across pretty big distances
with mediocre connections.  My home internet downloads about 100MB/s
by comparison.

You shouldn't need the remote oracle server if you've already copied
it over, you're just copying from local disk into the local pgsql db.
Unless I'm missing something.

Good settings. Maybe set work_mem to 128MB or so while you're at it.

insert into select from oracle remote is one big copy, but it will
take at least as long as copying from oracle to the local network
took. Compare that to the same thing but use file_fdw on the file
locally.

Yes. The copy from Oracle to your local drive is painfully slow for a
modern network connection.

They should be OK. I'm more worried about the performance of the io
subsystem tbh.
