Nurlan,
Try enabliing your checkpoint_segments. In my example, our database
restore took 75mins. After enabling checkpoints_segments to 20, we cut
it down to less than 30 minutes. Is your pg_xlog on a seperate disc..or
at least a partition? This will help too. A checkpoints_segments of 20,
if memory serves correctly, will occupy around 800-900M of disc space in
pg_xlog.
