Yes, the question is purely performance-wise. We don't care about any
read/write conflicts in this special case.
Some time ago, I had some tests with large bulk insertions, and it
turned out that SERIALIZABLE seemed to be 30% faster, which surprised us.
That's why I ask this questions, and mainly because we currently cannot
perform a large bunch of benchmarking.
Thanks,
Markus
