What is most important is getting reasonable performance when moving 
data via ssh, be it sftp, rsync or some other sort of data tunnelling 
via ssh. I need to pull backups from a Windows box, and am only able to 
get ~8MB/s from it. All my other machines can saturate the line, even 
this Windows box when it isn't using Cygwin. I will be testing WSL 
(Windows Subsytem for Linux) to see how its "native" rsync fares in 
comparison.

Thanks for the info. Would you be able to test file performance over the 
network? If you could just try copying a ~1GB file or what have you via 
sftp or rsync with actual writes to disk, I would be very interested to 
see how the numbers change.
