Just as side information: In local copies all files are copied wholly, the diff algorithm is not in effect. So if a file changes then it still is copied completely (without --partial, --no-whole-file etc). Second thing: From what I remember rsync does a lot of stat calls to get every file's properties. This is more expensive on cygwin/Windows than on linux directly. Rsync also uses processes/threads which are easier/faster to create and switched to on linux than on Windows. A Windows native implementation of rsync could run faster than the original rsync with cygwin layer. Some time ago somebody announced a new program using the rsync algorithm. But I never used it so I don't know about the features or speed. <http://www.acrosync.com/windows.html>http://www.acrosync.com/windows.html bye Fabi -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
