Attached is a patch that makes window strides constant when files are
walked with a constant block size. In these cases, it completely
avoids all memmoves.
In my simple local test of rsyncing 57MB of 10 local files, memmoved
bytes went from 18MB to zero.
I haven't tested this for a big variety o

determining
change, what method does it use to determine difference? If it falls
back to
checksumming the entire file, maybe the manpage might warn that this
would be
as expensive as using the "-c" option...or not depending on
