[PERFORM] size of pg_dump files containing bytea values

The IDE drive is almost certainly lying about flushing data to the disk. Lower-end consumer drives often do. What this means is that commits will be a whole lot faster, but the database loses its ACID guarantees, because a power failure at the wrong moment could corrupt the whole database. If you
