I'm not sure what the problem is.  Is rdiff-backup CPU limited (on
either computer is rdiff-backup consistently using up a lot of CPU)?
About rsync vs rdiff-backup I just performed some tests which I will
report on in the next email.  But it is definitely taking more time
than it should for you.  Could you post one of your session_statistics
