I'm not really sure, maybe someone else can chime in.
But I can say that I imported about 38 million rows of similar size
(actually, a bit larger) using COPY in under an hour with 7.2RC3. I had
no indexes or references defined during the COPY. I never saw memory use
grow beyond about 10MB IIRC -- possibly in part because I forgot to
increase shared buffers beyond the default before I started.
FWIW, hardware was dual P3 833 (I think), with 2GB RAM, hardware
mirrored SCSI hard-drives, Red Hat 7.2.
