I have the exact same problem, Bacula spools 25GB in ~1.5 million files

Despooling the attributes takes ages.
See the "Speed up backup of small files" thread ~2 weeks ago.

It works for me... In your case, relying on pools might be more useful. After

Well, 1.36.x does use PoolId, but version 1.37.x uses StorageId, which
