Looking at my results from yesterdays backup with "estimate server", and
it's shaved *at least* 5 hours off the run! I am a very happy man. :D

Now, looking at the graphs that amplot generates (which is going to be
invaluable to us, kudos for making that utility!), I think I can
probably shave another 2 hours off now that it's got one full run of
stats and can better utilize the "HTHTs" scheduling policy I put in
place. :)

Of course, now I'm running into a problem where the crappy Silicon Image
SATA controller I've got my scratch disks hooked up to dies horribly
under heavy load, but that's hardly AMANDA's fault. ;)
