Hi

Bacula 2.4.x and SVN Version < 2.5.26 have performance problems
for migration and copy jobs (in 2.5.x)

Especially when u run concurrent disk backup without spooling.
I you have a second disk or raid array, use it for spooling
on your disk backup jobs.   This results in more continuous
date in disk volumes.   Migration rates will be better, but
not optimal.

This issue/bug is reported in http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1190
and most likely fixed in 2.5.26
