<snip lots of stuff about block sizes>

If performance is an issue, I can strongly recommend ensuring that 
neither database nor disk seek time forms a bottleneck.

I am also using an LTO drive and I find that backups of lots of small 
files are routinely 3-5 times slower than backups of a few very large 
files.  I've got a maximum blocksize set of 16MB which does help.
