A BIG thanks to everyone for all the info!  Because the difference was 
so massive between tar and rsync I figure I must have done something 
wrong.  The question is what is wrong

Where do I find the hash chains and their length?

Both drives are ext3.  Lan is running at 1000
643,036 files
Comp Level 3

 From Incremental Log:

Running: /usr/bin/ssh -c blowfish-cbc -q -x -l root myclient /usr/bin/rsync 
--server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner 
--group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive 
--checksum-seed=32761 . /

Negotiated protocol version 28
Checksum caching enabled (checksumSeed = 32761)

I will look at the logs more closely.

Thanks!
