Hi guys. I've been following this thread and it occured to me
that it might be possible to write a very quick cache if we
ignored shareability between forked dumps.
I've done so. It actually does appear to make a considerable
difference even with a tiny (4MB default) cache

What's not idle? The file system is mounted, but there are no writes
to it during the dump. This and other tests run fine in Freebsd
