The actual problem is, that MacOS throttles accesses of TimeMachine. You can verify this by casting the command (all commands have to be used in a terminal)
sudo fs_usage backupd
You will see quite a lot of file transfers being throttled.
In order to switch off throttling you need to cast the command
sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0
If you want to switch back to the original behaviour (maybe because reaction of your Mac becomes sluggish during backup) you can do so by casting
sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=1
By the way: After a reboot of the Mac the debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled is defaultet back to 1. If anyone knows how to default it to 0 for all times, I'm happy to know.
