You've probably already accounted for this, but make sure you've
tried your
options for loading the database. Using long ("insert") form vs
copy can make
a *huge* performance difference.
In case no one's mentioned it already, you can also perform this
migration using Slony, by making the 7.4 database the master, and
replicating to an 8.x database.
