There's a pg_bulkload extension which does much faster incremental
index updates for large bulk data imports, so you get best of both
worlds: http://pgbulkload.projects.postgresql.org/

Beware though, that this is an external addon and is not as well
tested as core PostgreSQL. I have not tried it myself.
