postgresql-performance using sysbench

I'm doing some db-imports on postgresql on a file which takes 3 hours
and 40 min. with default HZ (1000). Then I changed HZ to 250 (in
loader.conf) and rebooted. The import still took 3 h. 40 min. so
altering HZ does not seem to have any influence.

#>sysctl kern.clockrate
kern.clockrate: { hz = 250, tick = 4000, profhz = 166, stathz = 33 }
