hi,
i observe some weirdness in rsync file transfer i cannot explain.
i'm transferring data from 2 freenas storages to a linux vm with zfsonlinux.
"fnask" is older freenas with rsync 3.1.1 running in daemon mode,
freenas-bnkw is more recent with rsync 3.1.2, also daemon-mode.

Maybe an alternative explanation is that a high degree of similarity
allows to skip more bytes on the sender. For each matched block, the
sender can does not need to compute any checksums, weak or strong, for
the next S bytes, where S is the block size.
As the number of matched blocks decreases, i

I've found this post on rsync's expected performance for large files:

Hello,

I have done some testing of rsync and ftp. If I do

Using rsync to do the same transfer (either way) I only get

Did you compile from the sources, or did you grab the cygwin binary?
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)

goes a lot faster with the patch. Unfortunatly the

I've been studying the read and write buffering in rsync and it turns
out most I/O is done just a couple of bytes at a time. This means there
are lots of system calls, and also most network traffic comprises lots
of small packets. The behavior is most extreme when sending/receiving
