I have a program that inserts 50M records of about 30 bytes each [..]
Now I suspect the limit is OSX throttling per-process CPU. Does this sound right?
Mmm... I don't think so. How do you perform the inserts? - Single inserts per transaction? - Bundled inserts in transactions (with or without prepared statements?) - COPY? Also, have you tried doing the inserts without the indexes and create the indexes afterwards? And finally you might want to try synchronous_commit = off ( http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-SYNCHRONOUS-COMMIT ) .
