I'm in the process of reorganising my backup system, and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how effective rsync's -z (compression) option is on fast links (100Mbps ethernet). There must come a point when compressing the data takes longer than it would to just send it over the link as is- the question is what ratio of processor speed to link speed would this happen at? Minimum processor speed is 1Ghz for the machines concerned.
