Apart from deleting tags, there is another option: do all changes on an empty database, and have a program that does APPEND FROM for each table. You can either make sure that you copy parent tables before child tables, or disable RI temporarily.
TaxRI, by Walter Meester, allows you to: a) disable RI temporarily, b) even if you keep it enabled, it has a "fast" option (which, basically, keeps the tables required for RI open).
It also helps to check which tables are actually modified. Unmodified tables are copied much faster with COPY FILE.
