I'd lean more towards ssh and/or librsync being faster, if I were
guessing. The python wrapper that is rdiff-backup doesn't really do much
heavy lifting, does it?

Speaking of more speed. Just upgraded to Nextcloud v15.2 and they claim
a 2-3x performance improvement.  I have to say, I believe it. Everything
seems snappier.
The bad side to the update is they broke the U2F authentication addon.
