Tested further what exactly will reset insert times to lowest possible:

vacuum full; helps
vacuum analyze; helps
analyze <tablename>; of table that I insert to doesn't help!
analyze <tablename>; of any table reference in foreign key constraints
doesn't help!

Only vacuum will reset the insert times to the lowest possible!
What does the vacuum code do?? :-]
