The "batch" mode is a compiling option and is described in the manual 
(http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Installing_Bacula.html) 
below. I recall this *might* be helpful in speeding up handling of many, 
small files.

-enable-batch-insert
This option enables batch inserts of the attribute records (default) in 
the catalog database, which is much faster (10 times or more) than 
without this option for large numbers of files.
