Well, I have tested rsync, which is based on 3.0.4 (client) and
3.0.5(Server). Is it necessary to upgrade to 3.0.5(Client)?

I have just checked change history
http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.0.5-NEWS , and have NOT
found any main fix on performance issue.

I'm also interested in Flavio's question about "Why has upgrading to
3.0.5 to be done *on both sides*?"
