[BackupPC-users] RsyncP and --whole-file

I’m using backuppc to backup > 14TB of data on a local machine. I’m using the rsyncd option since tar does not detect deleted files in incrementals. I was trying to see if the –whole-file option in the rsync options avoided the delta xfer algorithm that is not important since it is not transferring over a network. I had a look in the RsyncP code and it ignores the –whole-file option. Could this be implemented in RsyncP since the backup rsync processes are very CPU bound and this slows down backups, particularly full backups.
