You'd do best to read up on rsync itself and then experiment with its
performance in your scenario, but to first order approximations you'll
have a hard time doing better provided you invoke it appropriately. See
http://rsync.samba.org/documentation.html and in particular the original
technical reports by Tridge et al describing the algorithm.
