Two first shots:
- Increase your free_space_map settings, until (auto)vacuum does not
warn about a too small FSM setting any more
- Tune autovacuum to run more often, possibly with a higher delay
setting to lower the load.

Try to put the WAL on another spindle, and increase the WAL size /
checkpoint segments.
When most of the restore time was spent in index creation, increase the
sort mem / maintainance work mem settings.
HTH,
Markus
