Thanks for the tip. I was thinking about my suggestion, and I'm guessing that the --bwlimit feature is implemented as an if statement like: if (data sent/time since last check > bwlimit) then sleep There probably isn't a network buffer that is being checked. Maybe this can be changed to:

rsync feature request: conditional compression

2003-01-15 Thread Seann Herdejurgen
rsync is optimized to conserve network resources, sometimes at the expense of CPU resources. As long as CPU's are fast and networks are slow, rsync with compression does a great job. However, if I run rsync on a slow box (166MHz Ultra SPARC) over a fast network (100Mb/s), the compression kills
