I suggest you build it from the sources and apply the "craigb-perf.diff" patch which is in the patches directory in the 2.5.6 distribution. This patch makes all the difference for Windows (system calls cost a lot under cygwin).
If you don't want to compile it yourself, I have an older version (2.5.6cvs from august last year, works nicely) available at http://www.niradynamics.se/~nira_greger/

Has anyone else experienced high CPU usage when using RSYNC in windows 2000 server? I am using the rsync.exe (and applicable DLL's) from the cygwin installation (I am not however running cygwin on this machine).
The linux machine connecting to the windows rsync daemon has a very low performance hit when the session is running (see below). However, the windows machine, which has a much faster CPU hits a CPU usage of 100%.
If anyone else has seen this, and/or can help alleviate the issue, that would be great. I am using rsync to backup across our network our branch file servers.
