Once it is complete, wait a day or so and then re-run the full backup
*and* the native rsync over the contents of the first rsync. That will be
a pretty good comparison of not-first backups.
Frankly, you don't even have to wait. Once each of them are complete,
immediately re-run them and compare the results. There may be a very
minimal amount of new files, but that isn't going to affect the order of
magnitude of the results, and the difference you will see will be in the
neighborood of that.
That will tell you what I think I already know: the Perl-based rsync is
*terrible*. But it makes the magic of BackupPC work--if you feed it
enough resources, it seems.
