You sure there's not an O(N^2) issue in there somewhere?

No objection, but this seems unlikely to be better than linear speedup,
with a not-terribly-large constant factor.

BTW, does pg_upgrade run pg_restore in --single-transaction mode?
That would probably make synchronous_commit moot, at least for that
step.
