rsync/cygwin - strange behavior with VFAT-formatted USB-disk

I have tried using the Cygwin rsync binaries, but found them so slow as to be unusable. After 1-1/2 hours, it was still 100% CPU trying to sync two 1.6GB files. (It finally finished moving one, but was still thinking about the second.) Using scp, it takes less than an hour to move the two
