For dumping I have wrapped pg_dump in a shell script to dump several databases in parallel. But for pg_restore -j option does make a big difference, at least when you have a lot of larger tables and indexes. Regards, Jan Combination of -Fc and -j definitely works in pg_dump. And there is nothing in the docs that states otherwise.
