Do you have any virus protection active? If you had an on-access virus scanner running then it could seriously slow you down depending on how it is configured. Worst case it could be scanning every file bacula touches. VSS needs a bit of effort to complete the snapshot, but once complete, access to the snapshot doesn't incur any additional overheads.
