I have 15 or 16 machines, and my backup machine is a Dell PE2850 with 5 300GB drives and 4GB of RAM, so it is plenty beefy enough for my tiny network. :)

What is your $Conf{MaxBackups} value in config.pl?
If it's the default of $Conf{MaxBackups} = 4, try turning it down to 2 or 1
so that you don't have 4 backups going off simultaneously. Really, even on a
big backup server with fast disk I don't set that number above 3, and 1 is a
more usual number if the number of machines to be backed up is small enough.
