tried playing with this(on a 22Gb compressed dump using 4 connections)
but it does not seem to work at all for me:

pg_restore: [custom archiver] out of memory
pg_restore: [custom archiver] could not uncompress data: invalid block type
pg_restore: [custom archiver] out of memory
pg_restore: [custom archiver] could not uncompress data: invalid stored
block lengths
pg_restore: [custom archiver] out of memory
pg_restore: [custom archiver] out of memory
pg_restore: [custom archiver] could not uncompress data: invalid

pg_restore: [custom archiver] could not uncompress data: invalid

each pg_restore process seem to eat a few gigabytes of memory in a few
seconds.
