Note, full-backups of laptops or netbooks are done using 100Mbits wired 
Ethernet links, everything else is under 802.11g.

Since I can't upload any, here's my most-recent pic of the Host Summary screen. 
As you can see, the smallest ones seem to be working correctly; although, the 
backups are still slow in my opinion, just far less noticeable. For example, 
Virtual-XP is a virtual machine on the machine Soyver. Looking at its summary 
page, we see the backups taking anywhere from a nice 2-5 minutes up to a 
terrible 15 minutes. I say terrible because even though the size is a few 
gigabytes, think of it the size was a few ten gigabytes, then what? It will 
take a few ten times as long? That actually seems to be the case.

Faye-Mini is a netbook, running Linux. It has been taking longer and longer 
each backup.

Colissio's page is the most insightful. All backups since 78 were done using 
Rsync. Sadly, I have no older pictures of which to compare before and after 
shots now. I do have them of kevin-top, a laptop. If you see this, you can 
probably tell that it was after full backup 63 I switched to using Rsync. It 
was also after backup 63 my fan started whirling a lot and my battery life 
dropped 3 hours. I spent a long time trying to figure it out until I realized 
it was only when rsync was backing up this laptop did I have all of these 
issues.

I have other things I can show too. Look at Main and Xenon. Notice that after 
the date I began moving Windows machines to Rsyncd, their backup times 
increased a lot!
