I don't know about dirvish, but I concur: backuppc is slow. Even LAN based backups are not as fast as they should be. Still, backuppc is a great app. I haven't found anything else that is as easy to setup, use, and maintain. If backuppc could be sped up, it would be perfect. Seems to me backuppc would benefit immensely from a few more developers. I think a marketing campaign is in order. It'll pique interest amongst the OSS community, and hopefully attract a couple of developers. Donations to the project might be a great way to encourage development as well.
