Well, the cpu savings are probably not much (it still needs an rsync after
building the pseudo-image), but it saves alot of bandwidth on the master
server.

Yeah, that is why I chose this update to try it out.
Well, I made the mistake to run the debcdmirror script without checking
good how it would handle stuff, right now I do not have many images
around. And at the speed I'm building images, it will probably be a couple
of days before our mirror is up to date. :/
Hopefully things will be faster after the backups and main debian syncs
are done. (Yes, it is our server that is slow.)
