I haven't used v4 but it sounds like you have some issue with your
network, rsync, or lack of resources. The main difference between a
full and incremental should just be that the full will do a complete
read on the client side. The actual data transferred should not be
much different. If it works the same as v3, the block checksums are
not cached until the 2nd full backup of a file, so the 3rd and
subsequent full runs become faster since the server does not have to
uncompress everything for the comparison. My usual approach with v3
was to start a full run on a Friday before leaving work so it would
have the whole weekend to complete for the first few runs and would
generally stay well enough on schedule to keep fulls on a weekend.
