NT restore problem...suggestions?

I need some help regarding an NT client problem we're having and I don't have
much experience with the NT client or NT.

We have an NT client with a RAID disk setup that we run an incremental backup
on. Currently it's occupancy looks like this:

adsm> q occ rainmaker

Node Name                 Type  Filespace    Storage      Number of       Space
                                Name         Pool Name        Files    Occupied
                                                                           (MB)
------------------------   ----  -----------  -----------  ---------  ----------
BIGDAWG                    Bkup  RAID1        BKP.DLT7000    952,533   27,168.39
BIGDAWG                    Bkup  RAID1        BKP.DLT7000    952,533   27,168.39

BIGDAWG                    Bkup  Backup OS    BKP.DLT7000        137        1.02
BIGDAWG                    Bkup  Backup OS    CPY.DLT7000        137        1.02

Recently the folks that administer this machine had to restore some inactive
files using the NT client (v3). It took forever just to get a list of files
to restore. My observation using the dsmc restore -pick for one
file was that it took 1hr 45 min to present a list to pick from. The ADSM server
was relatively quiet at the time I was doing this. They've had to wait hours
for responses from the GUI. The command line interface appears to work a bit
better.

Is our problem because of the way the filespace backup is setup for RAID1?
Does restore look at every file (952K worth in this case)? Why is it so slow?
Is there something we can do to our server or client configurations to
optimize restores? With Unix you can setup a virtualmountpoint which helps
when backing up and restoring large file systems. Is there a similar way to
setup an NT client?

Our server is an RS6000/F40 (1 cpu) running v2 with a db that looks like this:

adsm> q db

Available Assigned   Maximum   Maximum    Page     Total      Used %Util  Max.
    Space Capacity Extension Reduction    Size    Usable     Pages       %Util
     (MB)     (MB)      (MB)      (MB) (bytes)     Pages
--------- -------- --------- --------- ------- --------- --------- ----- -----
    6,120    6,120         0     2,584   4,096 1,566,720   789,066  50.4  56.0
    6,120    6,120         0     2,584   4,096 1,566,720   789,066  50.4  56.0

We are aware our server needs more horsepower and we're in the midst of
setting up an F50 with 4CPUs and much more memory.

Thanks for any information you can give..
