We're having something of a "file transfer war" in the office at the
moment and one of .
A normal Windows copy takes ~10 hours
robocopy 15 mins
rysnc ~8 mins!

robocopy can execute in a multi-threaded manner to alleviate the
bottle-neck over what files to copy (this can take some time, especially
with lots of files, even for rsync).  As we may start to copy very large
folder structures, that is a concern.

I want rsync to win, dammit, as robocopy will suck over the VPN (no
compression, file delta etc).
