I've heard reports of problems with large files (like virtualbox disks) taking forever. Haven't had time to dig into it.

It certainly does not take 20+ hours to copy 450 gigs to an external USB 2.0 HDD. What is taking so long? It's not even encrypted. I can't imagine trying to use duplicity to backup multiple terabytes of data. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
