Have you created indexes on drones_history(sample_id) and
drones_history(drone_id)? That would probably help speed up your INSERT
quite a bit if you have not done so.

Also it would be worthwhile for you to post the output of:

EXPLAIN ANALYZE INSERT INTO drones_history (sample_id, drone_id,
drone_log_notice, drone_temperature, drone_pressure)
SELECT * FROM tmpUpdate;

to the list, so we can see what is taking the time.
