They should have stuck with bog-standard mySQL to get this time saving for free - if you restore a SQL dump created with phpMyAdmin or mysqldump then all the disable index commands are already in there, good to go, and in SQL.

Whoever wrote the Django bit didn't really do a good job on the defaults.

I don't know what makes mysql more "bog standard" than postgres, but pg_dumpall takes `-F format`, one of which is standard SQL statements.

But that's not what they're dealing with. They're dealing with CSV, presumably from some external source. It'd also be faster if they were dealing with pre-formed database files that they could just rsync. But they're not.
