We musn't make too many built in assumptions about the best way to parallelise the restore. For example, running all CREATE INDEX at same time may help I/O on the scan but it may also swamp memory and force additional I/O as a result. We might need a setting for total memory available, so pg_restore can try not to run tasks that will exceed that across settings. Preferably this wouldn't be just a pg_restore setting. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.comPostgreSQL Training, Services and Support
