An indication that maxwell is too slow, and you need to increase 
'etimeout' in the amanda.conf?  In which event, dtimeout may also 
need an increase from the default 10 minutes (600 seconds).  Or that 
the DLE's are too big and should be further divided into smaller 
pieces maybe?  This last would shrink the estimate times per DLE.

Personally, I'd like to see, just because data grows forever, an 
increase in these defaults, I think our "average system" has about 
outgrown them.  Storage capacities of the commodity drives of today 
have grown at 4x the clock speeds of the cpu managing them in the 
last 5 years.
