Is that true? Why would large directories make rsync run poorer than scp?

Could this be a RAM issue instead?  Rsync has to load the entire directory
listing into memory first, so could that be related to your problem instead? 

i.e. if scp can copy the files fine, then it can't be a ext2/reiserfs
problem...
