I don't know about parallel pg_dump as we use -Fc and pg_dump can't do
that in parallel (afaik). For dumping I have wrapped pg_dump in a shell
script to dump several databases in parallel.
But for pg_restore -j option does make a big difference, at least when
you have a lot of larger tables and indexes.
