Been copying from stdin for about 33 hours... I hate to stop it now. Here's
what I've done this morning to aid in perhaps getting this dump over with!

Edited /usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf:

max_connections = 64
sort_mem = 1024
shared_buffers = 2*max_connections
fsync=false
wal_buffers = 16
wal_files = 64
wal_sync_method = fsync
wal_debug = 0
commit_delay = 0
commit_siblings = 5
checkpoint_segments = 6
checkpoint_timeout = 300

then:

root@database:~ #killall -HUP postmaster

...
Still crawling. I thought I understood properly the idea for removing fsync,
and increasing the buffer and wal settings. No effect on the insert, tho...

Any ideas or advice welcome!
