When it comes to mass data transfer, the bottleneck won't likely be the CPU,
it'll be the NIC.
You want to pump up your throughput? Try changing the default packet size
inside your Intranet. 1500 bytes vs 15,000 byes should speed things up by
more than a few percent.
And then, well, I really want a replacement for RPC, crafted by Debian :)
Debian/sRPC
That would be infinitely faster than even FTP.
(note: SCP is really encrypyted TCP/IP, not an encrypted version of rcp)
