rsync is notably slower than other file transfer mechanisms; possibly because of all the comparisons it does at each end. It's really only a win when most of the data is already transferred. the rule of thumb I often use is that ssh+rsync is 2x to 3x slower than tar over netcat. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
