Exactly. The only way you can speed up the smaller

What about the original idea, to do the "current" dumps in a separate thread
from the "history" dumps. With only one thread doing the "history"
dumps
they'd take a really long time, but at least the "current" dumps would
finish in a reasonable amount of time.
