You probably have 2 modes of enquiry.  Firstly part of your system may be running slowly (tape devices, network, SAN etc).  Alternatively, the system may be okay but something about your configuration is causing issues (for example savesets spanning multiple tapes may cause excessive tape mounts and unmounts during cloning, contention for tape devices between backups and clones etc).   You will need to check what is happening on your tape devices and also check the logs to see whether Networker is giving out any errors or waiting to do something.
