Hi Tom
I'm honestly not sure about anything. =) I use the exact same flags as with 8.4 for the dump:
${BINARY_PATH}/pg_dump --host=localhost --user=postgres --no-password --blobs --format=custom --verbose --file=${pg_dump_filename}_${database}.backup ${database}
So unless the default behaviour have changed in 9.x I'd say I don't use compression. I will try to force it to no compression and see if it's different.
Sadly the instruments session stopped recording when I logged out of the system yesterday. Doh. =/
Cheers

I'm not sure if I can attach screenshots here. Trying, screenshot from instruments after running for a few mins.
It looks like practically all of pg_dump's time is going into deflate(),
ie zlib. I don't find that terribly surprising in itself, but it offers
no explanation for why you'd see a slowdown --- zlib isn't even our
code, nor has it been under active development for a long time, so
presumably 8.4 and 9.5 would have used the same version. Perhaps you
were doing the 8.4 dump without compression enabled?
