Although you noted that you've got 40G of data, that's not a good
metric in this instance.  Is this 40G of Maildir mail folders or 40G
of blu-ray movie rips?  The number of files and directories will be a
more useful number to look at here.

What is your system doing while the synthetic view is being built?  Is
it paging to disk?  Is the load high?  What is mysql doing (strace)?
What is bacula doing (strace)?  Is there anything else happening on
the system while you're doing this?  Is the mysql database on a volume
(physical spindles) with other things that are still being worked hard
during this action?

Thanks

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
