I'm at PGConf.US but will be reviewing this in detail after. The schema
qualification will be easily taken care of, the additional time for
pg_dump is due to the queries looking at the catalog objects and is
therefore relatively fixed and is primairly only a large amount of the
time when dumping databases which are mostly empty.
