Check the output of amstatus when the run is completed.  AT the
bottom, it includes a breakdown of what Amanda was waiting on when it
was waiting.  If you're seeing slow transfers of individual dumps, the
problem is more than likely related to:

1) Too many dumps at once are fighting for bandwidth
2) The client in question is too loaded/slow
3) The server is too slow

In general, I've seen dumping take longer than transferring.
