Hello,
  I have exactly the same problem: Too slow filesystem traversal by
Bacula Windows Client. I think that it has to be some problem with
Bacula Client cross compilation (low level of compiler optimalization?),
some setting or some other little thing, because if I switch the
client to Bareos, incremental backup is usually two to three times
faster than with Bacula client in my environment. I tried many
versions of clients including the oldest clients from times, when
projects "splitted", but behavior of all versions has been the
same: All Bacula clients were two to three times slower than all
Bareos clients for incremental backups in my environment. Very
disappointing and I did not find anything yet, what could change that.

I have two Windows servers. The first one is doable using Bacula Windows
Client, but on the second one, I had to switch to Bareos Windows Client,
because Bacula Windows Client did not want to finish under 20 hours,
while Bareos Windows Client needs just 8 to 9 hours.

And I really do not know, what to do after a year, two or three...

backup-dir Version: 9.4.4 (28 May 2019) x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.3 freebsd 
11.3-STABLE

bacula-fd Version: 9.4.4 (28 May 2019)  VSS Linux Cross-compile Win64

bareos-fd Version: 17.2.4 (21 Sep 2017)  VSS Linux Cross-compile Win64
(maybe the last working client with Bacula server?)

Best regards.
