Backup speed

I'm running a full backup now and the thing that's most noticeable is that
the tape streamer isn't streaming even with the block size of 64K.

This could be just that the processor (Intel Atom D525) is relatively slow,
but I don't think that's the problem as CPU% is fairly  low.

I think this may be because the afioballs are relatively small files.  Is
there a (relatively easy) way to change this.

I think that the large file part of the backup does manage to stream OK
(from memory of my earlier testing).

Cheers
Dave
