Faster compression

Our backup machine is an Athlon 1200; when 4 or 5 backups get running it
does get fairly slow.

These folks make a hardware GZIP compression card, but only in PCI-X format.
Most people don't have PCI-X capable backup servers, I'm assuming :-)

Would people be interested in trying to get them to produce a PCI version?
Their PCI-X version will realtime gzip a 2Gbit stream; a PCI version
wouldn't need to support anything near that to be super useful.
