The data to be inserted into temporary tables is obtained from one or more
queries run earlier and the data is available as a vector of strings. If I
need to use COPY FROM command, then the application would need to create a
file with the data to be inserted and the file needs to be readable by the
user running database server process, which may not be always possible
unless the application is running on the same host. I think this approach
may not be feasible for our application.

I have increased the value for /temp_buffers/ server parameter from the
default 8 MB to 128 MB. However, this change did not affect the INSERT time
for temporary tables.
