Not true :
- working with fixed size chunks may improve speed, because algorithms 
could be optimized for 1 chunk size (md5, compression, etc)
- if you implement block level deduplication to backup only the last
64kb of a log file, instead of the full 5 mb file, do you think it
will take longer to write 64 kb than 5 mb ?

File + block level deduplication will improve both BackupPC's
performance, and space savings.
