"xargs tar cf backup.tar < $manifest" recreates the tar file with each
"batch" execed by xargs. In general this results in only a fraction of
the desired files being backed up.

I'm not sure if this is worth including in the point release: both the
risk and the benefit are relatively low since breaking the performance suite
probably mainly annoys me.
