What is the cause of the "struggling"? Does the backup host run short
of RAM or CPU? If backups are incremental, is a large portion of time
spent determining the changes to be backed up? What is the relative
cost of many small files vs large files?
How does 'zfs send' performance compare with a traditional incremental
backup system?
