Description
One reason for the slowness might be that the default resource limits set by Jetbackup for your server are too low.
Workaround
Increase the maximum resource limits like CPU, disk and process priority(nice value) that Jetbackup can use in WHM>Jetbackup>Settings>Resource tab. IO and CPU Limit settings are only available on CloudLinux servers.
You can find more details about the settings in Jetbackup's documentation:
https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm/Settings/resource.html
The Resource tab is called 'Performance' in Jetbackup5:
