If they're running under the same process groupid, then sending it a
signal via killpg(2) would kill them all. Two things that might help:
* The default blocksize (Kb/output block) in dump used to be 10, but you
could go as high as 64. Check the -b option.
* Use "gzip -1q" for speed at the cost of slightly less compression.
"compress -c" also works very well on dump images, and it's fast.
