I think you mean *without*, but yeah, there is no way the --link
option is going to take that long. Hard links are awesome. We've upgraded
some really big databases, and --link is really, really fast.
If you can't use --link (usually because you want to get over
the checksum hump), we use something like Bucardo to help out.
No need to ever wait a "couple of days" as OP claims. :)

What really bites is the analyze afterwards. That's the part
that takes too long (yes, --in-stages helps some). Would love
to see progress made there.
