It seems that sprintf(), at least in glibc's version, is unreasonably slow compared to hand-rolled code for printing integers. Replacing most uses of sprintf() in the datetime.c output functions with special-purpose code turns out to give more than a 2X speedup in COPY of a table with a single timestamp column; which is pretty impressive considering all the other logic in that code path.
