I once did some tests with rsyncing tar files rather than individual files, |
| 15 |
see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=10108 The conclusion was that |
| 16 |
using tar archives gave around 85%-90% improvement for general sources (think |
| 17 |
rsyncing distfiles) and 35% improvement for the portage tree. Of course |
| 18 |
theres no fundamental reason for this, messing about with rsync options |
| 19 |
(block size, etc.) might give similar improvements. |
