Not sure where this modified rsync version will be used, but do you know
rsync's fadvise patch?
We are currently testing the patched rsync version with BPC and the results
are very good. Without the patch, backing up a server every night will
cause some performance penalty to the backed up server, because rsync will
fill up the server's page cache with the backed up data, but this will blow
out the application's data.
With the patch, we don't notice the backup job on most servers, because the
application data is all in memory and I/O is free for rsync.
For details: http://insights.oetiker.ch/linux/fadvise/
Latest patch (from January 2013):
http://tobi.oetiker.ch/patches/rsync-3.0.9-3-fadvise.patch
Not sure of this is a client thing or if this can be helpful in the
upcoming BPC 4 version...
