The test looks weird to me, I've tested postgrest before and is a lot
slower than Firebird, recenly I made a test of inserting 10,000 to a
simple table with 3 fields, results were amazing, with FireBird 1.52
the time was about 13s. but with PG 8.0 final was 4.13 mins, yes. 13
secons vs more than 4 mins, that's why I found that test weird.
