Sorry for the dropout and lack of acknowledgement. Words 'hell',
'loose', 'break' uppermost in memory.
Lots of information there. Thanks to everyone who's responded. Plenty of
start points and paths to follow.
Looks like it's a going to be a long month. :-)

Ok,
a couple of responses thus far. Some further info.
The software I can tune myself. I was more looking for Linux specific
tuning.
* Yes, I was/am concerned about I/O.
* But also ensuring the OS itself (system processes) is not hindering
anything otherwise.
* The RAID is the storage medium. (Hardware RAID)
* Incremental change analysis is done client side.
* Dual P4's / 1GB RAM
* Filesys is ext3 mounted with 'defaults'
You've chosen *the* application which most stresses the operating
system :-)
Cut the problem into three
- tune the disk
- tune the network
- tune the backup software.
