Matthew, I had similar TSM DB backup issues and found this TechNote. I followed it and it fixed the slow backups.

What version of AIX are you running? I'm on 6.1 TL 7 SP 6 (I updated from TL 7 SP 4 in order to do the TSM 7.1 install.) I am seeing abysmal speeds during backup db commands (about half the average speed I was getting before,) but that's neither here nor there. Sigh.
