hello all 

I have a perl script that read a text file and 
insert the data in a table...

but when this script is runing the usage of CPU by postmaster grows to
between 79 and 90 percent...

there's something to do about it?

thanks...

And this is a problem because...  ?

Honestly, you're doing a lot of work, why wouldn't the CPU be busy?

Are you using COPY or a series of INSERTs?  If the latter, are you
doing them all inside a transaction?  INSERTs not wrapped in a
transaction will load the system a lot more due to transaction
overhead and disk sync latency.
