Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 1.1.5-4
Severity: important

rdiff-backup gets the job done but is so slow. On my 1GHz computer, it
makes the whole backup to a USB2 disk CPU bound. This is painful
because it turns a weekly backup of 40GB into a 2 hours nightmare because
of the fan noise.  Whatever the media (USB2, SATA or network),
rdiff-backup is CPU bound. I don't understand why because traditional
rsync incremental backups are not.
