In general I have noticed most operations are slower after a succesful

to try, is whether a COPY FREEZE would alleviate all this trouble,
since all tuples are immediately visible then. Maybe a patch for a new
pg_restore option --freeze is a better solution. Are my assumptions
right?
It seems that the idea has already been discussed: https://
