If you don't use the --ignore-times option with rsync it will skip the checksum comparison on files where the timestamp, length, etc. match. It should only have to read the directory on both sides if nothing changes between runs. Be sure you are using options that propagate the timestamp (like -a) for this to work. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com
