After some struggle with sarge and etch, I finally installed lenny on my bubba 1. Everything is perfect except with ssh and rsync.
-first rsync is very slow: about 800kB/s, it took me about 3 days non-stop to make a complete backup. I usually use the following formula, via ssh or nfs with the same results:
rsync -avh --progress --delete --ignore-existing --delete-excluded --prune-empty-dirs --stats --rsh='ssh' /local/dir me@bubba:/remote/dir
- while making this long backup, i regulary ssh bubba and htop show me that "ssh me@notty" (or somthing like that) is eating 80 to 90% of the CPU load while rsync is eating the rest.
What I dont understand is why do I get these poor transfer rates between my computer and bubba while I can download an ISO with rtorrent at full speed (~2,5 MB/s) without any problem. And why does ssh eat up so much CPU?
Any answers or questions are very welcome?

transfert rate
Hi,
SSH uses encryption which is VERY expensive on the poor ARM9 cpu. You should not expect more than what you're seeing in terms of transfer-rate over ssh. A better alternative would probably be to mount the disk via NFS.
I get somewhere between 2.5 to 4 mb/sec (depending on if i use ext2 or ext3 on bubba) over NFS.
