an if statement like:
if (data sent/time since last check > bwlimit) then sleep

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
