Gee, you are really "pushing" Bacula -- or maybe I should say punishing it
with 100 concurrent connections.

This is a bit hard to understand. If I am right, you were getting an overall
throughput of 8000KB/sec with 100 concurrent jobs and no spooling, and when
you added spooling it dropped to 700KB/sec? That seems odd. Are you sure
there were no other changes? Also, if you are measuring rates, are you
measuring rates of Full backups? Rates for Incremental or Differential
backups don't have a lot of meaning, and cannot be easily compared since the
FD may be simply traversing files that it doesn't want to backup -- this
consumes time and slows the rate.

Increase the number of concurrent jobs that are allowed in the Director.
