Speeding up Transfers of 1000s of files

Rsync works in a very linear fashion. Try running multiple rsyncs in paralell
on different directories of course.
One speedup would be to transfer the checksums and data asyncronously. I
havent checked the source on how this is done but I suspect that even this is
done in a very linear way wich explains why data transfers have to wait for
checksum calculation, transfer and compare.

Subject: Speeding up Transfers of 1000s of files
Hi all,
I have to transfer thousands of files across my network. We are looking at
using rsync via a squid proxy to help improve the network tuning. What I am
witnessing now is that with each successive file, the transfer speed resets to
0 and ramps up to 2.5MB/s.
Is there anyway that I can group these transfers together to take better
advantage of our bandwidth? I should be able to peak at 5+MB/s.
Thanks in advance,
Max
