debmirror: cpu bound?

[Christian Convey <conveycj@npt.nuwc.navy.mil>]

Hi guys,

I've got the following script that runs nightly to create a local debian 
mirror. I inherited admin of the machine from someone who left.

It seems to not be doing its job (our mirror is pretty stale), and when 
I run it manually, the system stays CPU bound for a LONG time. (16 hours 
and counting.)  I'm running the 20040926 version of debmirror.

Does anyone recognize my symptoms, or have a suggestion for what might 
be wrong?

Here's the script:

#!/bin/sh

MAIN="--host=archive.progeny.com --root=/debian/"
NONUS="--host=ftp.at.debian.org --root=/debian-non-US/"
MARILLAT="--host=ftp.nerim.net --root=/debian-marillat/"

ARCH="--arch=i386"
SECTIONS="--section=main,contrib,non-free --nosource"

debmirror /var/ftp/debian --method=ftp \
        --dist=testing,unstable \
        $SECTIONS $ARCH $MAIN "$@"

debmirror /var/ftp/debian-non-US --method=ftp \
        --dist=testing/non-US,unstable/non-US \
        $SECTIONS $ARCH $NONUS "$@"

debmirror /var/ftp/marillat --method=ftp \
        --dist=stable,testing,unstable \
        --section=main --nosource \
        --arch=i386 $MARILLAT "$@"

Thanks in advance for any advice.
