(Try enabling log_statements.) One thought is that kicking up work_mem and vacuum_mem is likely to help for some steps (esp. CREATE INDEX and foreign-key checking). And be sure you've done the usual tuning for write-intensive activity, such as bumping up checkpoint_segments. Turning off fsync wouldn't be a bad idea either. regards, tom lane
