I will if/when the installation gets larger again (at which point we may move to the Commercial version finally); I'm down under 1 TB of Base backups now, from a height of around 8TB. Honestly, Bacula's been so darn lightweight and efficient for me the past 7+ years I never needed to bother - the only times I've had any issue with it is when we had a machine with about 2TB of storage, made up of up tens of millions of little JPGs.
At any rate; an 'optimize table File' fixed both the Restore issue and the Incremental issue; it's back down to 'instantaneous' speed.
