pg_dump and restore are typically fast. Have you tried other -F
values? c does compression which, in your case, on your servers, might
be slow. You could also try running the dump on the server that is
hosting the source database, copying the file across and loading it on
the target server. Or some variation on that theme. Maybe that would
at least tell you which bit was slow.
