Benr, 


I would say it's pretty good speed for backups with compression 
working on client side. 
If you don't use compression the speed is low. 
I don't see much reasons to turn compression on client side, 
saving network traffic is not so big issue. 
For me backups w/o compression take twice less time then with it.
