THROTTLE comments in pg_dump were helpful. Any thoughts. This is hard to believe. If you're running out of network buffers, slowing down the data-consuming process ought to make things worse not better. pg_dump doesn't have any direct way of throttling the backend's output; that happens when the network queue is full and the kernel starts blocking the backend's send() requests. I would have taken your problem to suggest that Windows 2003 doesn't cope very well with a full network queue. regards, tom lane
