Mmm... I don't think so.
How do you perform the inserts?
- Single inserts per transaction?
- Bundled inserts in transactions (with or without prepared statements?)
- COPY?
Also,
have you tried doing the inserts without the indexes and create the indexes afterwards?
And finally you might want to try synchronous_commit = off

.
