Just speculation, I've not tried this. Perhaps pipe the output of pg_dump
through a software that bandwidth-limits the throughput? (I don't know if
such a command exists, but it probably could be done in 4 lines of Perl or
30 lines of C if necessary.) Or are there so many buffers involved that
this would just cause data to pile up in memory, waiting to be written out?

the Hindu numbers and the numbers used in Latin languages are the Arabic
