Hello,
after updating my server to Postgres 9.5 (or 9.6) I tried to import PG 9.4 dumps and/or to restore 9.5/9.6 dumps:
pg_dump testdb > db.sql
psql -d testdb -f db.sql
Restoring these dumps in PG 9.4 takes less than 20 minutes, restoring them in PG 9.5/9.5 takes several hours on the same system (even if I make a PG 9.5/9.6 dumps and try to restore this one)!
I also tried to restore dumps with the original PG 9.4/9.5.9.6 configuration as well as with different options like increasing max_wal_size in 9.5/9.6. e.g.
Do I miss a specific option in 9.5/9.6 which may be different to 9.4? If I turn off autovacuum (9.5/9.6) it's faster - but not as fast as with PG 9.4.
Example Log 9.5/9.6:
LOG: duration: 278349.128 ms statement: COPY test (id, ...)
LOG: duration: 646487.952 ms statement: ALTER TABLE ONLY test ...
The same with creating index... It takes hours with PG 9.5./9.6!
Thanks, Hans
