OK, so you don't have a network problem.  My guess would be you have a
throughput problem on either the storage daemon or the catalog database.
 What is the backup medium?  Have you done any performance analysis on
the server during a backup (iostat, for example)?

Are you running jobs concurrently?  That can make up for slow clients.
Of course, if you're only backing up a single client, that's not going
to help you.
