New description:

 I would like to see the addition of a tablespace parameter added to
 shp2pgsql.

 For loading large tables, this is currently a three stage process.
 - load DDL from shp2pgsql
 - use psql and alter the tablespace of the table
 - load the data from shp2pgsql

 Postgres stores relations as individual files.  When loading several
 thousand tables, the underlying OS can become slow when looking up a
 particular file/table.  Having multiple tablespaces solves this problem.
