I spent a whopping seven hours restoring a database late Fri nite for

8.3. I then did a pg_restore -v -d $db ./pre_8.3.tar and watched it
positively crawl. I'll grant you that it's a 5.1G tar file, but 7
hours seems excessive.
Is that kind of timeframe 'abnormal' or am I just impatient? :) If
the former, I can provide whatever you need, just ask for it.
Thanks!
7 hours for 5.1 G is excessive. It took me 11 hours to do 220G :). It
would be helpful if we knew what the machine was doing. Was it IO
bound? How much ram does it have? Is it just a single HD drive? What
are your settings for postgresql?
Yeah, I did a 9G in about 20min. Did you optimize the new one ?
