bowerbird is unhappy with this. I suppose you missed out updating

Here is a work-in-progress patch set for converting ready_list to a
priority queue. On my machine, Tom's 100k-table example [0] takes 11.5
minutes without these patches and 1.5 minutes with them.
One item that requires more thought is binaryheap's use of Datum. AFAICT
the Datum definitions live

I looked into the performance gripe at [1] about pg_restore not making
effective use of parallel workers when there are a lot of tables.
I was able to reproduce that by dumping and parallel restoring 100K
tables made according to this script:
do $$
begin
for i in 1..10 loop
execute
