"Now notice that the Time Machine backups are (hopefully) running a little bit faster than before."

Your hint warns of procedures that take multiple hours to run, yet you never quantify what kind of performance improvement you got on your system. Did you save seconds per backup? A minute? Two?

Please give some performance figures so we can better judge whether all the steps are worth the time and effort.

You should probably factor in some time to actually test that the backup system is still working after you have enabled.
