Description Bruce A. Locke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-03 19:52:09 UTC 
The "-z3" option should be used with cvs and the "-z" option should be used with
rsync to compress data sent over the network.  For modem users this can reduce
"cvs -dP update" time to somewhere around 20% of the time it takes uncompressed.

-z3 and -z should not use much in the way of cpu time on the servers and is a
big win in the bandwidth department.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5965 also deals with improving rsync
Comment 2 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-03 16:32:47 UTC 
Fixed for CVS (rsync already done) in 2.0.35. Thanks :)
