I strongly suspect that you have indexes with a large number of
duplicate values. We saw this exact same effect on our databases.

Fortunately, v2.0 has a completely new disk structure for indexes which
is designed to handle duplicate index values much much more efficiently.
The net result is that restores FLY!
