How much data do you have, and how large of a window do you have to migrate 
the data?

For example, we moved from 8.4 to 9.6 (that was frozen while 10 was still in 
beta) and it would have taken almost five days to dump the data using the 
single-threaded 8.4 pg_dump, and just as long to do a single-threaded restore.

OTOH, the elapsed time using the 9.6 pg_dump with 8 threads was 14 hours, 
and the restore only 8.33 hours.
