I wonder if it would be worthwhile if pg_restore could emit a warning
if maint_work_mem is "low" (start flamewar on what "low" is).
And as an addition to that - allow a cmd line arg to have pg_restore
bump it before doing its work? On several occasions I was moving a
largish table and the COPY part went plenty fast, but when it hit
index creation it slowed down to a crawl due to low maint_work_mem..
