Wow, that would be nice.  That would cut in half the time it takes to
restore a several TB db (3 days to 1.5 here).

I assume this would help a lot of "CREATE TABLE AS SELECT ..." use cases
too.  That is often the fastest way to do a large update on a table, but it
can still be annoyingly write intensive.
