I've done quite a bit of looking, but I haven't found an answer that
answers this question.
Environment:
cygwin on Windows
rsync 3.0.4
Using a native windows sync tool, a sync of the source to the
destination takes perhaps 5 minutes. (~24G, 80K files) However using
rsync takes a very long time. (I've never let it finish, but it's
still running an hour later or more...)
That's weird. I routinely use rsync to backup all my harddrives under
win64 (using cwrsync) and I haven't noticed any excessive times (at
least not beyond common sense). Although my config is much more
complicated, the "core" approach is the same. I never felt any real
reason to compare to cp or other regular programs (drive example: 0.5TB,
137k files, although only ~100GB is copied due to hide/show/etc. rules).
I'll do some comparisons later, when I have a bit of time.
