The biggest difference is probably that backuppc creates a separate
file (actually 2 links) for every new file on the source. With many
small files the file creation overhead would be more than compression
and checksums - depending partly on CPU speed/disk speed. Incrementals
should run much faster and subsequent fulls at least slightly faster.
Interesting. I wonder if different filesystems could give different
performance for making links, or if there are any kernel parameters that
could be tweaked via /proc that might help.
