Q: Will I get better performance upgrading the server from dual PIII to dual Xeon? A:
rsync is CPU intensive, so depending on how much cpu you were using for this, you may or may not gain. How busy was the server during that time? Is this to a single IDE disk? If so, you are probably bottlenecked by that IDE drive.
The storage is ide->fiber. Using tcp-mounts and peaking 100 MB/s it used just about 100 % cpu.
Rsync was only used to copy the folder recursively (-a), it used nfs to trasnfer the files to the nfs-server.
When you say 'ide->fiber' that could mean a lot of things. Is this a single drive, or a RAID subsystem?
