Timeshift extremely slow on small incremental rsync #322

Sometimes timeshift take so long to do rsync(week schedule) and my system is unusable until timeshift done backup.

On logs I see that incremental rsync is 54.7 MB and spend more than 5min to done. While other backpus already done spend seconds.

I run Arch and I believe I'm experiencing a similar problem with my daily backups. It seems to max out my CPU usage for 5 to 10 minutes or so, which slows my system to a crawl. I've been running these backups for years and only recently began to see this slowdown, maybe around the time this issue was opened or a little earlier. When I see it crop up again, I will try to gather some more information to share.
