I just sent small test job from my mail server - 15 GB in 1 directory 
and 5 files. After 30 minutes it has transfered just 2 GBs to spool with 
average transfer rate at 1.6 MB/s. So slowness is not caused by dealing 
with lots of files.

I'm thinking that maybe CentOS compilation of bacula client is somehow 
broken. I've used .src.rpm downloaded from bacula.org to build my 
packages. OTOH I'm using exactly same packages on two more machines and 
they work fine.
