Cygwin Rsync/SSH performance issue

- Subject: Cygwin Rsync/SSH performance issue
Hi everybody,
I am using rsync/ssh to copy files from my computer to my server and
everything seems to function as expected, except performance.
During a file transfer on my home computer (Intel I7) there is not a
noticeable CPU load. But on other (older) machines the rsync/ssh transfer
consumes all CPU resources on the sending side. I noticed there are other
questions regarding this subject in the archives, but I could not find a
solution for this. Also throttling the bandwidth to a lower value is not
helping to reduce the CPU load.
I am using quite a basic command to sync my files:
rsync -e ssh * <user>@<server>:/data
The versions of the software I am using are:
Cygwin: 1.7.1-1
ssh: OpenSSH_5.3p1
rsync: 3.0.6
OS: WinXP
Was anybody able to resolve this ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
Jan
