It looks like alternatives are kind of complex to me, right now my

the autovacuum processes does a lot of io and make my pc unusable
while I do the data inserts.. and I tested autovacuum off with not
much success because of they are launched due to the transaction id
wrap around issue.
Something sounds wrong, here. XID wraps around somewhere around
4-billion transactions which is a substantial multiple of the entire
number of records you are trying to insert. Do you have any unusual
vacuum settings?
As mentioned by others and myself, anything that batches lots of inserts
together into a single transaction instead of each record being its own
transaction will help whether this is COPY or BEGIN, INSERT......, COMMIT.
