If you join the backblaze reddit forum where some actual backblaze employees work, if you criticise or say something doesn't work, they try to delete/bury your comment with downvotes. It's slow, the software is rubbish and the company doesn't realise that other countries exist (they also want to be paid in dollars which is a disadvantage to. So, does Backblaze slow down computer? I do feel sluggish whenever the backup is running in the background whenever I am working with my computer. It became frustrated after a while and I just set the backup schedule during my sleeping time and let it run. The bad thing is that my computer needs to power on for 24 hours.

What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Maybe this is not a problem but instead a SOLUTION to a problem: I was plagued by extremely low upload speeds (around 100 KB/s) for several years when syncing borgbackup repositories to Backblaze B2. My problems were previously described in the (now locked) forum thread here. The underlying cause was found to be lots of 503 errors being throws by Backblaze while Backblaze support assured me that everything is OK at their end. None of the proposed solutions (e.g. Ok google shazam this song. increasing the --transfers value) worked.
Recently I have found that simply adding the '--fast-list' option to rclone command increased my upload speeds from around 100 KB/s to at least 2 MB/s (sometimes up to 5 MB/s). That's at least 20x speed increase ant it's absolutely consistent (tried 5 times without the --fast-list option and 5 times with it). I don't know if this is a bug in rclone or at Backblaze's end but this info might help other afflicted users.
N.B: My borgbackup repositories consist of multiple long files (up to 500MB) and many more short 17 bytes files (for snapshots that did not change compared to the previous snapshot). The typical file composition of my borgbackup repository can be seen here.
