Don't know whether this is faster but it does avoid spinning up a
connection multiple times.

#bash, linux
    function append_each_split_file_to_etl_load_script() {
        for filetoload in ./*; do
            ronumber="$(basename $filetoload)"
            # only process files since subdirs can be present
            if [[ -f "$filetoload" ]]; then
                echo ""
                echo "\set invoice"' `cat '"'""$filetoload""'"'`'
                echo ", ('$ronumber',:'invoice')"
            fi >> "$PSQLSCRIPT"
        done

        echo ""  >> "$PSQLSCRIPT"
        echo ";" >> "$PSQLSCRIPT"
        echo ""  >> "$PSQLSCRIPT"
    }

There is a bit other related code that is needed (for my specific usage)
but this is the core of it.  Use psql variables to capture the contents of
each file into a variable and then just perform a normal insert
(specifically, a VALUES (...), (...) variant).  Since you can intermix psql
and SQL you basically output a bloody long script, that has memory issues
at scale - but you can divide and conquer - and then "psql --file
bloody_long_script_part_1_of_100000.psql".
