FYI, code for this is presently available on pgFoundry, at: <http://pgfoundry.org/projects/snapclone/>.
I have some benchmarking scripts to commit to it, once I get added to
the project. (Simon? :-))
FYI, preliminary testing, on a machine hooked up to an EMC CX700 disk
array is showing that, if I do concurrent dumps of 4 tables, it gives
a bit better than a 2x speedup over dumping the four tables serially,
so there's definitely some fruit here.
