You've mentioned that backups are slow, but not how you're doing the backups?
Where I would start along with things like perfmon is with a simple, straight

OK - that's fascinating...
I am running PAL against the log file, watching its output in the

even though when I was looking through i when displayed in perfmon
they weren't showing.
How strange is that?

That's what I thought, but for some reason perfrmon didn't give me

I would want to know your LogicalDisk and PhysicalDisk items for each disk, not
for _Total. Total disk time, average read disk queue length, average write disk
queue length, and average disk queue length are the most important IMO.
