Are you doing this over a network?
If you watch it restore with vmstat (or top) are you IO bound? If so, temporarily turn off fsync, restore the db, then turn it back on.
something like:
autovacuum = off
fsync = off
synchronous_commit = off
full_page_writes = off
bgwriter_lru_maxpages = 0
On the other hand, if you are cpu bound, use the multi-core-restore-option -j.
Or use both.

This is useless information without knowing anything about your computer. If you have 512 Meg of ram its a lot different than if you have 32 Gig.
