Our HASH indexes did not have enough cardinality, i.e. there were a lot of collisions which forced postgres to create "secondary" indexes of data inside each of those collisions. Changing indexes to BTREE helped reduce write latency tremendously (from ~5-10 seconds per block to ~150-900ms per block.
