Actually "fast" fsf is not required to skip over other jobs, it just makes it
faster. Unless you also set Forward Space File = no, Bacula still uses normal
fsf to skip the jobs, but does it 1 tape file(*) at a time and also reads the
first block of each one. The "fast" case skips N tape files in 1 tape driver
command.
(*) Tape files are typically 1GB each, or smaller if the job was smaller.
