Random thought: What OS & kernel are you running? Kernels between
3.2.x and 3.9.x were known to have IO scheduling issues. This was
highlighted most by the kernel in Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) as shown

I'm on CentOS 6.4 which seems to be Linux version 2.6.32-431.20.3.el6.x86_64
But it is a VM, so disk I/O can be rather random as there are other
tenants. While improving performance is nice, I was most interested in
wy a pg_dump takes longer than a pg_restore (nearly 50% longer as it
takes about 2.75 hours to dump, but 2 hours to restore). It's
counter-intuitive as reading from a DB is usually faster than writing
into a DB. I think those LOs are getting me as our DB is LO-intensive
(most data is encrypted blobs: encrypted uploaded user files and
encrypted app-generated XML/HTML).
