What kind of CPU load are you seeing? rsync is more CPU intensive than
most other replication methods, which is how it gains its bandwidth
efficiency.
Also, can somebody give a brief synopsis of how MySQL replication works?
I would suspect that since the database has inside knowledge of the data,
it should be keeping a transaction log or something like that.
