Is it a software raid 0?
Honestly I wouldn't worry about the load, especially if this system is
dedicated to bacula backup functions.

i've been using top, and the elevated load does positively correlate to
iowait

During the job run an "iostat -k 2" and tell me what the iowait
percentage is. If it's over 20% you have a disk bottleneck and the CPU
is waiting on the disk to write/read data which will jack up your load.
It's also possible that the calculation of md5 sigs is adding a bit of
CPU overhead. Wha
Wow... On my server running bacula-sd and bacula-dir, the load average
can get as high as 9.2 when doing full backups of certain machines...
Any thoughts as to why?
