=>This program is very, very slow.
The first thing I'd check is that you have an index on
boci(row_number). If you do, or if adding one doesn't help, then
perhaps you could split boci into two tables:
boci1( row_number int, col2 float )
boci2( row_number int, col3 float )
Then you could use the COPY command to load data from your array. To
select things, just join boci1 and boci2 on row_number (or create a
view, if PostgreSQL supports 'em).
