Except administrator time, which is what I usually try to optimise.

rsync is a fire-and-forget command. I just remember "rsync -av -e ssh
<src> <dst>", and I never have to read a man page, or test various
commands to see what they do, etc.

So rsync is a win for me despite any algorithmic inefficiencies it may have.
