Hmm. It's good that you are wrapping this in a transaction, but I
wonder about doing it as a single "batch". I have no idea what the
internal implementation of batches in JDBC is like, but it seems
possible that it would have some performance issues with 14000
statements in a batch.
Have you checked whether the bulk of the runtime is being consumed
on the server or client side?
Also, make sure that the JDBC driver is using "real" prepared statements
--- until pretty recently, it faked them. I think build 311 is new
enough, but it would be good to check in the docs or by asking on pgsql-jdbc.
