Thanks to all nine of you (boy do I feel dumb) who pointed out that
hardware compression should have been off. I forgot that rebooting this
machine reset the drive to hardware compression on, argh. Five minutes
with a screwdriver and no more... :)
Some more realistic results:

One other note... for two days now I've been getting timeouts on the primary MX server
for the amanda list ( mx-1.omniscient.com ). Has anyone else seen these issues? I've
been able to send mail by connecting via telnet to port 25 and entering my headers and
data block by hand, but I'd prefer not to have to do that.... ;) Is is er... Is it
just my end, and some flaky MTA, oir is mx-1 (surly.omniscient.com) under a heavy load
so much of the time that the MTA times out? I noticed telnetting in that it took 15
seconds to get a connection... rather long,. but who's to say it's not some network
issues on my end...
Thanks again to everyone for pointing out the error of my way :)
