> The delay on Multiplexed restores?

Benchmarking could be done for your setup, but there's no general
answer.

If you have slow tapes and fast clients, then multiplexing will tend to
slow restores as the clients will be waiting on the drive to feed data.  

If you have slow clients and fast drives, then multiplexing will tend to
have no impact on restore time, because making the drives go faster on
restore will not be useful (you're waiting on the client, not the
drive).
