My experience in this is dated.  But, through mid-90's, using *SAVF was
DEFINITLY and CONSIDERABLY slower, but allows multiple concurrent backups,
so can close down the backup window quite a bit.  (I didn't read article,
but depends how you define "speed".)  My recollection is using *SAVF for
Large, but relatively few, objects is Particularly Slow.  Using for lot's of
small objects wasn't so much different (presumably because the overhead of
dealing with all the locks and such is same in both cases).

I would be SOMEwhat amazed if that's changed a Whole lot.  Plus, I didn't
experiment with *SAVF in separate ASP to try to improve the speed, but tape
drives are getting exceptionally fast these days.  (Iow, ymmv.)
