Thanks for your email.

We moved our test bed to a bigger ProLiant server and had 2.3MBps on
restores (2 threads).  Then we uncompressed the data, backed it up,
and restored it.  We then saw a single threaded restore (1 RAID-5
partition) restore at 3.1MBps which = 11.6GBph.  That is acceptable
performance for my customer.  They are putting a plan in place to
buy more disk space and move to an uncompressed partition.  This
will be the best solution for them.
