we accept your offer of more memory, Steve! thank you so much!

in an effort to begin regular rsyncs of master's non-archive partitions,
i currently have a dry-run rsync executing which seems to be quite a hog.
i'd Like to get an idea as to how long said rsync will run so as to
better schedule said rsync.

i just killed my rsync (after 142 minutes ) but will have to run it again, 
probably tonight.

i would endeavor to speculate that master's load will remain high
until futher notice. :)
