My main reason was experimental evidence showed a massive drop in
performance with 6 indexes (the number needed from a query
perspective) when hitting 2-3M rows given the insert rate that I had
to sustain. I'm using COPY to insert 2000 records/second at this
point. This is an application that currently runs on Oracle and uses
SQL*Loader to get data into the database. On the Oracle side we use
Data Partioning to manage the data sets under it. We're talking a
data set that can easily be 10B rows. Because of how Data
Partitioning works, you can easily remove "chunks" of data when it
needs to be archived. This is also why I'm using inheritance.

That's the second run of the same query, so that it can take advantage
of caching. The first run was 80% more expensive in runtime.
