pg_dump does the same.. if you same custom it makes binary (WITH BINARY)
but with compression.

Performance?

1. TOP: inserte into select ....
2. TOP: copy / pg_restore with uncompressed binary
3. TOP: copy / pg_restore with uncompressed text
4. TOP: pg_restore with compressed binary (custom format in pg_dump)
5. TOP: normal inserts...

This is my experience.

Be aware to give postgres write/read access to this file/dir - i think
the double "//" is typee
