Loic,

you should try the timing with
pg_dump --format=c completedatabase.dmp
and then generating the separte schemas in an extra step like
pg_restore --schema=%s --file=outputfilename.sql completedatabase.dmp
I found that even with maximum compression
pg_dump --format=c --compress=9
the pg_dump compression was quicker then dump + gzip/bzip/7z compression afterwards.
And after the dumpfile is created, pg_restore will leave your database alone.
(make sure to put completedatabase.dmp on a separate filesystem). You can even try to run more then one pg_restore --file in parallel.
Best wishes,
Harald
