Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Performance

Charles,

In my particular case it was primarily CPU bound as you can see from the time info.  The CPU was between 95-100% busy the whole time.  This is what concerned me.  Having a backup program being IO bound would hardly be a surprise to anyone.  Being CPU bound was somewhat of a surprise to me.  Of course, for those of you with 
3.2Ghz versus 1Ghz machines are likely no longer CPU bound.

All that said, it would be interesting to do some benchmarking to see
where time is actually being spent -- waiting for network latency,
waiting for the filesystem or doing things in userspace. oprofile should
easily distinguish between the latter two cases; more primitive tools
(comparing wall-clock/user/system execution, for instance) should
provide more general data on the former.
