Both of these codepaths use QgsVectorLayerExporter, which batches
calls to QgsVectorDataProvider::addFeatures in groups of 200 features.
So there's definitely the potential for a good speed bump here by
moving to the COPY command.

I don't think so. The tricky bit would be handling the "RETURNING"
part of the INSERT command, which is used to update the add features
with their new feature IDs/primary keys. I'm not sure that's possible
using a COPY command.
