I'm not really using pipes since rsync and ssh spawn separate processes for
each connection. I am using pipes in some other places with cygwin so I'll
see if I notice the same performance improvements there. It could be the
rewrite you did is having an impact somewhere beneath the covers that I'm
just not aware of as well.

Doesn't rsync use pipes internally?
If it isn't that then maybe it's some of Corinna's socket I/O improvements.

If you're using pipes in any capacity I would expect that you'd see some
improvement in throughput since I rewrote the I/O handling there to remove
the old head-standing which was necessary for Windows 9x.

I've been testing cygwin 1.7 on Server 2008 with rsync. First, the install
went flawlessly. I'm just using a standard path of E:\cygwin...no fstab
issues.
Compiling rsync worked without a hitch. The rsync version is 3.02 with the
preallocate patch applied. The patch takes advantage of the posix_fallocate
feature.
There have been two major improvements I've seen with the 1.7 build on
Server 2008:
- The long file name errors that used to always be a problem are no longer
there which is great news.
- The overall I/O performance is much higher. I don't have hard statistics
but have been watching throughput on the SAN connected to the server. With
old cygwin and Server 2003 I was lucky to get sustained throughput of
40M-50M. Now I'm seeing throughput of 100M-120M all the time with bursts
much higher. It is possible the performance gain is helped by Server 2008
as I have not attempted to run the old cygwin on 2008 for a true comparison.
I think a lot of it is also in the cygwin version since I'm sending the
email to that list. :)
Sorry I don't have any more hard data as we continue testing 1.7. Thought
I'd at least let you know some of the nice things I'm seeing.
