Well it is fast on our local links but on a long delay link, like what
we have from here in SA to USA, it is pretty slow. With rsync from
ftp-master, ftp-master.us and ftp-master.eu I can get 100-150kByte/s,
but with cvsup (with the -s option) I can only get about 30kByte/s. It
is less of a memory hog than rsync on the server side though.
