I find in my setup the Macs are backed up very slowly compared to the  
other Linux systems. It's so bad that there must be something I can  
change. I'm using rsync over ssh all around.

Incremantals of MacBooks Pro take 4-6 hours, compared to 20 minutes to  
1 hour for the Linux systems, everything over 100 Mbit.  The Macs for  
sure don't  have more data or more files, static or dynamic than the  
Linux systems; quite a lot less in most cases. It can take a whole  
hour between the time the connection is made to the client, until the  
first directory is actually created on the server backup store. I'm  
puzzled by this.
