Not true : - working with fixed size chunks may improve speed, because algorithms could be optimized for 1 chunk size (md5, compression, etc) - if you implement block level deduplication to backup only the last 64kb of a log file, instead of the full 5 mb file, do you think it will take longer to write 64 kb than 5 mb ? File + block level deduplication will improve both BackupPC's performance, and space savings.
