When writing large objects to the database, method of transmission
will very much determine performance until you start hitting the
natural boundaries imposed by the database.
via (hastily written):
#include "libpqtypes.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "string.h"
int main()
{
int s = 1024 * 1024 * 256;
char *p = malloc(s);
memset(p, 'x', s);
p[s-1] = 0;
PGconn *conn = PQconnectdb("");
PQinitTypes(conn);
PGresult *res = PQexecf(conn, "insert into foo values(1,%text)", p);
if(!res)
fprintf(stderr, "*ERROR: %s\n", PQgeterror());
PQclear(res);
}

...that's over 76mb/sec (to local server) for 256mb transfer. That's
pretty good I think. We have a 1GB barrier on bytea/text and (at
least in C, with certain reasonable precautions) you can work
comfortably under that limit. There might be other better strategies
but it can be done.
