Does the actual transfer work, apart from taking a lot of time? If so, then the behavior is normal for rsync. What happens is that rsync sends a lot of small packets containing checksums, which is very expensive on cygwin/windows. If you want, I can send you patched sources (from Craig Barratt originally) and a precompiled binary for cygwin that is much faster on windows. Hopefully these patches will migrate to the next rsync or cygwin release.
