plain dump is not compressed, you'd have to use -Fc to get compression,
but it's good to use anyway.

On previous versions the -Z 9 option would compress the plain text sql
output to a gzipped file.
Now it now longer compresses. Using the -Fc the outputs a compressed
file, which is only readable
by pg_restore.
