nothing has changed in efl or e to affect anything like you mention. it'll be
something else.

disk contents have likely changed - more data or less data on disk. different
numbers of files in different locations. more or less block fragmentation. more
or less extents in files (more extents leads to more seeking and overhead).

look to see what is running and using i/o while you do a backup. iotop might
help.

memtest86 will look for bad memory - not relevant. as i said - that
patch/commit is irrelevant. that code would not have even been compiled for you
as you are not on ppc (i assume) so it's not relevant.
