Also, if any of the clients are windows clients, there is a known problem that the small packet sizes used by the common rsync versions cause some kind of massive performance problem that appears attributed to ssh or rsync. Buffering patches dramatically speed up rsync. Jim Aaron Morris

If so, then the behavior is normal for rsync. What happens is that rsync sends a lot of small packets containing checksums, which is very expensive on cygwin/windows. If you want, I can send you patched sources (from Craig Barratt originally) [...] I got a good 10X throughput boost with

rsync feature request: conditional compression

rsync is optimized to conserve network resources, sometimes at the expense of CPU resources. As long as CPU's are fast and networks are slow, rsync with compression does a great job. However, if I run rsync on a slow box (166MHz Ultra SPARC) over a fast network (100Mb/s), the compression kills
