I've noticed that too from time to time.  I remember somebody saying
once that rsync builds the entire update list in memory rather than
streaming it on the fly.  So if the file collection is large, it
will use a lot of memory.

CVSup supports rsync-style updates, but it currently doesn't
compress as effectively as the real rsync.  I got rid of the worst
problems between 16.0 and 16.1.  Now I think it's just a matter of
tuning.  If I can make CVSup do rsync updates as effectively as
rsync then it will be come an attractive alternative for this kind
of thing.
