Don't notice this much.... disk is usually the bottleneck, and otherwise it will be the network to the remote backup location. Still backups complete in seconds:

Sure, for spinning disks, but deduplication, compression, and encryption can easily be the bottleneck if you have some NVMEs.

And you can turn the compression way up to where it is very expensive but gives much better space savings.
