You could try to do the dump/restore without the intermediate file and pipe pg_dumps output to psql
pg_dump -h oldserver ... | psql -h newserver ....
Another thing you could try, is to use the "directory" format (-F d) of pg_dump which lets you use multiple threads.
The directory format also enables you to use multiple threads for pg_restore.
But that would only improve the speed if you have many tables that are similar in size.
If the 8 hours are spent mostly on one table that won't help
