You might find something about this in the list archives but a current
test would be good too. The speed of removing files is important too
since that controls how long the backuppc_nightly run takes. I remember
seeing a benchmark called 'postmark' a long time ago that measured
file creation/deletion times since that related to performance of
maildir mailboxes with one-message-per-file format. Since the same
applies to the backup copies the same kind of test should work.
