Rsync gives poor speedups for files that have been compressed with gzip as a nature of the compression algorithm. This negates a lot of the advantages of using rsync to fetch nightly builds. A patch to gzip exists to format the output in a way more amiable to rsync, and can be decompressed with unpatched gzip. There is a small increase in size with --rsyncable enabled; <1% The patch is at : http://antarctica.penguincomputing.com/~netfilter/diary/gzip.rsync.patch2 Some notes on sizes and rsync improvements : http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2001-January/003511.html
