Just speculation, I've not tried this.  Perhaps pipe the output of pg_dump

pv (pipe view)

Allows you to monitor rate of transfers through a pipe. Also has options to specify max
transfer rate (-L).

It's handy for quick-n-dirty disk-rate tests - mostly only useful for bulk read (pv /some/big/file > /dev/null)

Or monitor the progress of your dump: pg_dump <your options> | pv > your.dump

May not be installed by default - "apt-get install pv" works for Ubuntu but for CentOS/RHEL but you may need to get it from rpmforge or use the source: http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml

Cheers,
Steve
