I just had a thought- I know some of these tables are in need of a vacuuming. Could it be that the dump is dumping a bunch of garbage that the restore has to sift through on the restore? I don't know enough details to know if this is a dumb thought or not.
The restore to RDS took roughly the same amount of time. My next move is to try on a fast instance store, and also do a postgres 9 restore of a pure SQL dump, but that won't really be a great test since I use custom format. I'm assuming here that I can't take the custom dump from 9.2 and apply it to 9.0, or can I? -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Incredibly-slow-restore-times-after-9-0-9-2-upgrade-tp5824701p5825052.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - performance mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
