True.
The point is though that 2.3M/s (which Im getting at the 0 dump of the
biggest one) translates to about 10G/hr, which means it takes 11 hours to
dump the largest slice.
Dumping the results from that from holding disk to tape takes less than 3
hours.
In other words, it's fast, but I'd like it even faster ;).
I guess splitting that slice into a bunch of smaller slices would help
