Any actual reason not to do that?


rsync can use what I refer to in pysync as "context compression". This
is where the matching data is compressed even though the matching
compressed data is not transmitted (because the other end already has
it). This "primes" the compressor with context information. My tests
with pysync show that this can improve compression on real-world data by
20% or more.


Great!
I didn't know that =)

In that case, rsync -z is *really* better than ssh -C
