Does #rsync usually vary very much in transfer speeds when transferring files? Moved some files today and transfer speed varied from 1 Mb/s to 110 Mb/s with very random sudden drops in speed.

yes this makes sense, it shows effective rate, so if it doesn’t need to copy parts of a file/dir it will count that towards its speed

That’s the delta calc it does to figure out what to copy/transfer? I don’t think that makes much sense in this scenario though, because this was about moving entire files that didn’t exist on the target path before

Are you using -z ? compressibility would be a factor as well

Yeah I figured it could have something to do with the compression flag. It's a pretty beefy CPU on the remote machine though so wouldn't think that would be a bottleneck..
