[kwlug-disc] rsync causing processor spike

[CrankyOldBugger]

As it happens, I was running RSYNC on one of my machines myself when this
message came in, so I thought I would post my own TOP for reference.

This is on a Desktop 13.10 x64 install, which I am accessing remotely.

You'll see that RSYNC is listed twice here.
