I'm only seeing around 2MB/s write speed to tape. I have read all about spooling the data, etc. I would expect this to be an issue if I was complaining about getting 18-25 MB/s instead of 90-100MB/s maybe? Anyways, I simply cannot understand why a single job runs at 2 MB/s and 3 jobs will run about 2.5MB/s total. See output below (all servers in the same rack/switch running at the same time):
