Well, you're absolutely right:) Thanks.
What I would like to know is what are those [table_name].D, [table_name].D2,
[table_name].T, [table_name].T2, [table_name].TT files?
They seem to be some dump files as if pg_dump would create them as a dump
copy when I run it to create a dump to somewhere else..

...

Seriously, try:

drop index foo_idx;
create index foo_idx on foo_table (bar_field);

That should save you a _lot_ of time relative to a complete dump and
restore.
