For people that have slow rsync times, there is the alternative to run |
| 9 |
emerge-websync. It is maximally a day behind and works well. |

Unfortunately it needs to download a lot more, but doesn't need to scan |
| 11 |
the whole local and remote trees. |

Rsync is for a big part actually IO bound. If you are not using dma you're |
| 14 |
basically fucked. A good cache and enough memory helps too. |
