I believe so using an "internal" minimalize necessary changes in COPY
implementation. Using a funcapi needs more work inside COPY - you
have to take some functionality from COPY to stream functions.
Probably the most slow operations is parsing - calling a input
functions. This is called once every where. Second slow operation is
reading from network - it is same. So I don't see too much reasons,
why non internal implementation have to be significant slower than
your actual implementation. I am sure, so it needs more work.
What is significant - when I better join COPY and some streaming
function, then I don't need use tuplestore - or SRF functions. COPY
reads data directly.
