Subject: another PITR recovery question

I’m running postgres 8.2.5 and I’m running a PITR restore on a remote machine.

The archived logs are being restored at a rate of about 5 every 3 minutes

I was reading in compressed logs and uncompressing them as they are being restored.

I am now reading in uncompressed logs straight into the restore.

The restore rate only improved slightly – to the rate of 6 every 3 minutes.

Is there something I can do in postgresql.conf or in the shared memory to

get this to move faster?  At this rate my recovery will run for days as I’m copying

WAL logs from my production machine. 

Thanks
