I can only chime in on this bug.
I'm using rsync on my ReasyNAS 102, which as an ARM core (Marvell Armada 370).
Unfortunately, rsync is _very_ slow locally. The constant checksumming is
responsible.

For example :
1) rsync -Pi --protocol=29 speed is around 21MB/s
2) rsync -Pi --protocol=30 speed is around 18MB/s
3) cp speed is around 70MB/s


The speed for rsync difference can be explained by MD4 being faster than MD5.

So on slow CPUs the checksumming is a clear bottleneck and it would be nice to
have a --no-checksum or --checksum=crc32 algorithm to avoid this problem.
