This is something we're working on (I work with the author of the patch you
referenced) but the refactoring of the backup code in this cycle has made
progress challenging. If you have a patch that works, please submit it,
even if it needs some cleaning up, we'd be happy to work with you on and
testing, cleaning up and improvements.

The basic problem is that backup is CPU bound (compression, ssl) so the
existing parallelisation techniques used in cinder don't help. Running many
cinder-backup processes can give you good aggregate throughput if you're
running many backups at once, but this appears not to be a common case,
even in a large public cloud.
