I think what we need to do is make fix_dependencies build a reverse lookup list of all the objects dependent on each TOC object, so that the searching behavior in reduce_dependencies can be eliminated outright. That will take O(N) time and O(N) extra space, which is a good tradeoff because you won't care if N is small, while if N is large you have got to have it anyway. Barring objections, I will do this and back-patch into 9.0. There is maybe some case for trying to fix 8.4 as well, but since 8.4 didn't make a separate TOC entry for each blob, it isn't as exposed to the problem. We didn't back-patch the last round of efficiency hacks in this area, so I'm thinking it's not necessary here either. Comments?
Sound good. Re 8.4: at a pinch people could probably use the 9.0 pg_restore with their 8.4 dump.
