I would try to isolate the problem.
Take two new tapes from the VTL.
Move them to a new pool
Create a test policy that backs up directly to the VTL and fills the two
tapes.
See if that repeats the behavior of the second tape being. This will tell
you whether duplication is involved.
If the second tape is slow:
expire all images on test tapes with bpexpdate.
Repeat the backup.
If the problem goes away then the VTL tape is only slow on the first write.
If not, you have a different problem.
