pg_restore quick question

I want to dump a database containing about five tables, each containing
about 25 million records. I wanted to run pg_restore per table all at the
same time. Would this have any undesirable consequences. I tried it on a
smaller database and it seems to work fine.
Let me know your thoughts ASAP
Thanks
Sally

Performance may be questionable, and if they touch the same table,
it's possible for there to be deadlocks, but aside from that, it
should generally _work_.
