If you upgrade to 9.5, you can take advantage of the fact that you can
convert an unlogged table to a logged one with an ALTER TABLE statement. I
believe this does a full rewrite of the table again, but you may be able to
incorporate that into your ETL process if it ends up still being quicker
than doing the ETL directly on a normal table.
