When you fetch the new changes with rsync, it'll compress better and in turn it'll be faster (assuming we're network bound and I am with 1mbit and 2.5ghz cpu), if it's rsync applying gzip to the big "combined diff between trees" instead of us compressing every single small file on disk, that won't compress anymore inside rsync. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
