I don't know the internals of rdiff-backup, but I do know that there is a runtime option to disable compression of .snapshot and .diff files. When file operations are done properly, this might be helpful (using memory mapped file access instead of decompressing/compressing, so effectively using pointers to disk instead of ram). But I don't know whether it would work that way. The only thing I do know is that it will at best help you in the future, as it is not going to change anything wrt historic files.
Thanks, Maarten, as Robert pointed out: only the two most recent backups are needed for regression, so it is at least worth trying. I was not aware of the switch (I probably should RTFM with more concentration).
