I'm surprised that vim segfaults! I had it slow to open huge files, but I always assumed it could handle anything, through some magic buffering mechanisms. I could be wrong!

That being said, from the point that one has to edit the dump to restore data... something is very wrong in the restore process (the knowledge of which isn't helpful when you're actually faced with the situation, of course)

Yes you shouldn't be manually restoring sql dumps but I've been working in this field long before versioned source control or pgbackrest existed.
