I got used to rsync's -v --progress option so much that I used it instead of rcp even to simply copy files across the network. I dont like software that doesnt talk to me! :-) I like the percentage bar that --progress gives!
To my surprise, I found that, when dealing with 1GB+ files, rsync is 4-5 _times_ slower than rcp. Yes, I know that rsync is optimized for sending deltas to a file across the wire and simply copying a file using rsync is expensive, but still 4-5 times slower? Is this to be expected?
