Using rsync (via ssh), default is aes encryption, which is expensive.

I wanted to try setting

Host * Ciphers arcfour,blowfish-cbc

I put that in user backuppc .ssh/config, but that didn't seem to work 
(according 
to the output of ps, not showing the args to ssh).

I did find that putting it in 

$Conf{RsyncArgs}

as

  '-e "ssh -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc"'

(note the quotes)

appears to be working (I can see the args in ps, and the backup is running).
