OK, but why would one have done a webrsync in the first place
unless doing an "emerge --sync" wasn't possible?

AFAIK emerge-webrsync downloads one single tar.bz2-ed file and then
expands it to obtain the portage tree, while normal rsync checks for
differences in every file and then fetches the new ones. My guess is that
normal rsync is faster when your current copy of the Portage tree is
almost up-to-date, since just a files will be downloaded, however, if your
copy is old, you'll make it easier just getting a whole copy of the tree
(even if it isn't the latest one).
Does the community agree?
