Our NBU admin runs multiple streams by the way which helped a lot.
So the various "letters" of the cyrus hashing are each broken out into
their own full backup.   Example out of /var/cyrus/mail/ the subdir
A-K are in one stream, L-Q in another, etc.   I'm not an NBU admin
so I dunno why this is more efficient but it worked great.
