Sorry for the delay. The rsnapshot file is just % wc -c /var/log/rsnapshot 433435 /var/log/rsnapshot See attachment. The important part seems to be the very long lines in the text file. "time zcat rsnapshot.log.gz" gave me for a local network connection 253x50: real 0m0.031s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.005s 254x50: real 0m0.031s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.007s 255x50: real 0m0.031s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.000s 256x50: real 0m0.068s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.009s 257x50: real 0m0.063s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.012s 258x50: real 0m0.064s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.006s Please note the worse performance for 256x50 and larger. I verified this for Xorg using intel graphics and for the proprietary Nvidia graphics. Regards Harri
