Is there a fast way to get acl's for the whole filesystem (or chunk thereof)


For backup, I am trying to dump a list of the acl's for the files being
backed up since my backup program doesn't handle the acls.

When I use something like:
   find /c -exec getfacl {} \; > mysavefile

It is slow, in part at least because it has to fork a call to getfacl on
each file found.
Is there a faster way to do this (hopefully without having to go write
C-code)?
