Dwight,

Hmm... I agree, this sounds rather strange.
As mentioned before, you will get a "Waiting for TSM Server..."
when TDP for Domino is waiting for a TSM API function call to complete.
At the start of the incremental, all the objects are queried on
the TSM server...  so the inital wait, could be longer...
...but after data has begun to flow... the only delays that
I see would happen, are the TSM Server trying to get tapes mounted
or waiting for other TSM Server processes that have priority.
... in which case, it seems you should see the same thing on
selectives as you would incrementals...

I would examine the TSM Server activity log to see if you
can determine why the server is pausing during those long delays.

Thanks,

Del
