Hi Jochen,
Thanks for the info, and I'd love a copy of your apt-move.conf file.
I think I've discovered a little more. It looks like "ftp.at.debian.org" needs to be accessed via http, not ftp. When I use ftp as my protocol I seem to get all the problems.

FYI, the local mirror currently has about 12GB of content. I don't know whether or not that implies I should expect a very long period of CPU-boundedness for debmirror.
I don't know debmirror, but I use apt-move to maintain a local debian mirror for my machines. I update three times a day (on a small 800MHz, 265MB VIA box) and it almost never takes more than twenty minutes to rebuild all the Package files (which should be the only CPU-intensive task involved in mirroring) after fetching new/updated packages. So I think something on your side is definitely wrong.
If you are interested, I can post my apt-move.conf, but I think the program and the example configuration is pretty self-explanatory. It justs fetches all packages (filtering possible) from all mirrors in your sources.list and generates a Debian-style directory structure which I export via http.
