I'm doing a lot of SQL inserts and the limiting factor appears to be CPU assigned to postgres. Most of these inserts are to the same table. I'm a bit confused here as I'm using docker-compose with no resource limits, the container should use all available 16 cores.

:/# nproc
16
:/# postgres --version
