Or at the very least, multiplexed to a lower value than 25.

However, if you are using fast tape and a slow network/clients, the
slowness of the clients will obscure the performance penalty of
multiplexing.

I've done some testing, and got MPX >= 10, and saw no performance hit
for backup or restores for 100Mb/s clients.....however, with high
performance clients running SAN attached disk and dedicated GigE cards
for backup, I saw significant performance hit between between MPX=2 and
MPX=3...the difference between MPX=2 and no multiplexing was negligable.
