Me too. :-)
CVSup uses the rsync algorithm to update things like www trees. But
of course, it's my implementation instead of Tridgell & Mackerras's.
There are several parameters that can affect its performance,
and though I tried to set them intelligently, I don't have many
measurements at this point. So if you get any results, I'd be very
interested in hearing about them.
Besides network I/O, I'd also like to find out how they compare
speed-wise.
