Text, binary, it's all the same to gbak. Try the -g suggestion - if
gbak is cleaning out garbage, it's slow.
But, surely, the garbage has to be cleaned out sooner or later, and
doing it in a backup run is the cheapest way to do it, as every record
is being visited anyway? (Compared to, say, doing a COUNT(*) to clean
garbage, which will visit records it doesn't need to, or, worst of all,
letting the cost land at random on whichever poor sod next does a query
on the table with the garbage.)
