One solution for this is to set:
$Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

in config.pl. This way, each incremental will be made relative to the last
incremental.

Other performance improvements may be had by setting 'noatime' as a mount
option on the filesystem which holds your backuppc data pool.

Also, if you're using rsync-over-ssh, you may want to try changing your
compression level to 0 and a differen ssh cipher. You can set this value on
a per-host basis according to what testing indicates works best.

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -C -o CompressionLevel=0 -c blowfish-cbc
-q -x -l bakupuser $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
