how much left for restore?

Is there a way to know/estimate how much is left to complete a
restore?
It would be enough just knowing which part of the file is being
restored (without causing too much extra IO, that will definitively
put my notebook on its knee).

Next time I try a restore on this box is there anything I could
tweak in pg config to make it faster?

For dev only... could I just stop the dev server, copy the *files*
on flash and mount them on the notebook?

thanks
