*IF* the backup is bandwidth-limited, the first run will take longer than subsequent runs. How much depends on how bandwidth-limited you are!

When I back up clients over the Internet, the initial backups can take a *very* long time (more than a week). Subsequent full backups take maybe 3-4 hours.

However, for hosts across a fast LAN, this will not be the most significant part of your slowdown. Given your network specs, I doubt that this is it.
