Apparently the one downside of Borg is that it has to walk the whole filesystem for backups, rather than picking up changes: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/325

According to a more up to date comparison[1] (recommends Arq), Borg is also slow because it processes sequentially.

This is true of most backup programs.
