I've been surprised at how fast rsync can copy locally. For instance, http://mail.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2002-12/msg00066.html finds 'rsync -aH --delete' faster than 'cp -a'. Perhaps though this was some idiosyncracy of my test (the main purpose wasn't to benchmark rsync anyway). -- Ben Escoto
