I've adapted the doc a little bit, see in Tramp CVS. Implementation of a local file cache is still postponed; it would help only for large files, which might result in disk space problems etc. When GNU Emacs 23 is released, I will ask on emacs-devel, whether it is possible to add a file name handler for recursive copying (in XEmacs, it exists). This should boost rsync based copying.
