I haven't done any thorough empirical testing on this, but I suspect that
MaxBackups=2 would give you higher throughput overall (tho not
individually). the reason is that the processor and disk are going to have
idle moments (unless they're very slow, or memory is very limited), where
they're waiting on data from the remote end. So if you have two jobs
running, you'll be more likely to always have a job ready to use resources
as they become available.

really, you'll have to test with your specific environment; but that's just
my experience and thinking.
