Aggregate uses wall-clock time;
Network uses the intervals between when the client says "I'm sending data
now", to when the server actually receives it.

It's perfectly normal to have aggregate be a lot slower than network.

If you really want to speed up your backups, you need to
look at the accounting log records (.../server/bin/dsmaccnt.log - see admin
guide for layout)
to see which of your clients suffer most from idle wait, media wait, or comm
wait.
