Thanks, that's what I've been trying to do so far. > If you are limited by CPU when running multiple rsyncs, you may need to > turn off compression.

I need about four or five CPUs on the source end running rsync -z to saturate the DS-3. The destination end is any number of computers (all faster than what I have at the source end) connected to a SAN, so they just sit around polishing their fingernails and acting bored. ;-) Thanks for the suggestion.
