But the whole discussion still doesn't explain why it's so much slower during the *first* run (that's what Scott's mail was about, if I'm not mistaken). In that case, rsync/rdiff-backup should be (roughly) as fast as NFS, if there is no processing bottleneck on the machine that's running both instances of rsync. Rsync would figure out that there are no files on the destination, yet. It would then transfer all data, without further checking the destination, AFAIK.
