For each file in the directories you specify (normally your whole filesystem), 
Bacula will do a linear search through the exclude list.  Thus it could be 
extremely CPU intensive.  For a large list (more than 1000 files) I believe 
it (the list) needs to be put into a hash tree, which is code that does not 
exist.
