Hi,
It seems that the dumps are using an old version of 7zip (4.57 is visible in database dump progress http://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html page). Current stable version is 9.20 with apparently several optimizations done since 4.57. Should 7zip be upgraded for the dumps to see if it's going faster or taking less resources ?
Nico
Thanks for the heads up Nicolas,
Looks like the boxes that these are hosted on are hardy making 4.57 the latest available version.

Ariel, what are the upgrade plans for snapshot[1-3] ? Is it up on the ops roadmap to migrate to the next version of LTS? If not are there any blockers to get it upgraded?

Yes it's on my list. Actually I had done sn1 but it needs to be redone with an internal IP; then I was going to test the heck out of everything before doing the other two.
However it will wait a little til I get this rewrite out which will let me actually produce these things reliably and on a regular basis. At this point all my resources are focused on that.
