Oh, I'd agree with that. But then to me you aren't running rsync
over the NFS connection, but over the slow LAN connection.
I took the original question to mean using rsync over an NFS
connection serving as the link between source and destination (in which
case only -W makes sense), but in re-reading the subject, it's a tad
ambiguous and could certainly include the above scenario.
