One of the pghoard developers here. We developed pghoard for our use case (https://aiven.io):

* Optimizing for roll forward upgrades in a fully automated cloud environment * Streaming: encryption and compression on the fly for the backup streams without creating temp files on disk * Solid object storage support (AWS/GCP/Azure) * Survive over various glitches like faulty networks, processes getting restarted, etc.

Restore speed is very important for us and pghoard is pretty nice in that respect, e.g. 2.5 terabytes restored from an S3 bucket to an AWS i3.8xlarge in half an hour (1.5 gigabytes per second avg). This means hitting all of cpu/disk/network very hard, but at restore time there's not typically much else to do with them.
