Is it split into some small number of top-level directories? If so,
you might add additional 'hosts', each configured to point to the same
target machine via ClientAliasName, but backing up different
directories. This may not save overall time unless the total number
of files is causing the directory read to run out of RAM and swap, but
it will let you skew the days where each part does a full.
