Yeah it’s slow
What’s slow about async? If you have a reasonably fast CPU and are merely syncing differences, it’s pretty quick.

It’s single thread, one file at a time.

That would only matter if it’s lots of small files, right? And after the initial sync, you’d have very few files, no?
Rsync is designed for incremental syncs, which is exactly what you want in a backup solution. If your multithreaded alternative doesn’t do a diff, rsync will win on larger data sets that don’t have rapid changes.

For a home setup that seems fine. But I can understand why you wouldn’t want this for a whole enterprise.
