NOw what ever performance you are seeing, there is a new option with TSM 3.7
of
        resourceutilization [1-10]
exists under unix clients and I'd guess exists under NT clients even though
I haven't checked specifically YET.
This allows for multi-processes for backup activity...  initial tests
earlier today showed this would yield a great increase in performance (ie a
major decrease in wall clock time for a scheduled incremental)
I'll be doing specific tests next week for more exact numbers over a single
thread incremental

later,
      Dwight
