Hi,

been following this list for some while and have some thoughts
on why there seems to be different opinions on this:

At least earlier (pre 6.x ?) Networker worked in different ways
depending on the way you did cloning:
- asking it to clone a volume WOULD do demultiplexing of the savesets
  and thus be very slow, this was (is) a definite problem
- feeding nsrclone a list of savesets did try to optimize the cloning speed
  and did not do demultiplexing.

I haven't tested this for some while, but if it is still true, it would explain
why people seems to have different opinions on the matter.

Perhaps someone has the time to test this?
