I've noticed that most of the time when doing an rsync tranfser over ssh
from my laptop to my server both ssh and rsync will max out a processor
core each and the transfer rate, even on a gigabit LAN, is only about
250KB/s.
Other than the slow transfer rate and significant CPU usage rsync seems
to run correctly.
I tried to browse the strace output from a partial run but I don't know
enough to see anything obviously wrong in the strace output.

Now I'm adding some text to hopefully get the spam score of this message
low enough that it makes it to the list. The first time I tried sending
this message to the list it bounced saying the spam score was exceeded.
