tcopy tape to tape WAY too slow

[Jesse Guardiani]

Howdy list,

I'm copying 35G/90G AIT-1 tapes on FreeBSD
from tape drive to tape drive (nrsa0 and nrsa1)
using the tcopy -c command and it's taking WAY
too long. Over 12 hours including the
verification process. (not sure exactly how long
as it finished when I was sleeping)

Is there something I can do to speed this up?
