That might well be it.  "find . -type f -links +1" says that, of the ten 
million or so files in that tree, around a million have more than one 
hard link (some have several hundred, don't ask me why).

If the client will permit it, I'll investigate "restore optimizespeed" and 
report back.  Thank you!
