That's when sending files - as in doing a restore. When doing backups RsyncP
is
on the receiving side and a stock rsync is sending - and will do deltas.
Whether on not it is a win to compute deltas probably depends on the
relationship to available bandwidth and CPU, but it might be worth a try. I'd
guess --whole-file might generally be a win on files with random changes but
not on growing logfiles where the deltas are all past the end of the previous
copy.
