Yes, this will be interesting. I think it will help a lot with Full backups. 
In my regression scripts which run about 15 minutes for disk only (1 hour + 
for the full tape tests), I don't see much difference.  However, that is 
normal because they typically do backups that are not too large, then one or 
more restores, and several diffs.

Yes, this is nice. Unfortunately, it is a bit complex. I was able to slip this 
1.37 feature into 1.32.2 (or .3) so you can already use it.
