Ours is much faster too, and I have also removed the interleave option on the
backup.  This helps speed up the restores as well.  I think that Stan sent out
a message about this about a month or so ago.  He, or whoever I am thinking
about, said that tests showed very little difference in store times, but in
restore times, things are much faster if you do not interleave on the backup.
