Thanks for the reply. We have a performance monitoring system and that
high system load is triggering quite some alerts. The backup is basically
done in a single command pipeline:

find -L $SRCROOT -xdev -size -50G | \
        cpio -o -H tar | \
        gzip -c -1 > $DSTPATH

Therefore it's difficult to insert "sleep" into there.
