| 1 | This patch adds a --slow-down=USECs option that causes the sender to scan |
| 2 | the filelist more slowly, and the generator to scan for deletions more |
| 3 | slowly. It doesn't do anything to make anyone slow down during the normal |
| 4 | transfer processing, though. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | The idea is to lessen rsync's impact on disk I/O. Unfortunately, there |
| 7 | should really be a way to affect more of rsync's processing, perhaps by |
| 8 | specifying a maximum disk I/O rate (and have that affect a maximum stat() |
| 9 | rate or something like that). |
