But what I think is great is that a sync doesn't have to work on 110,000 files, instead it only works on 1 file sequentially. As you perhaps know how disks work, this should be a lot faster. And zsync can be even better, it's still in the early stages of development. I see only benefits (even if we just compare it to emerge-webrsync) :) But only through experimentation we'll be able to see the difference.. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
