I just moved both drives to a Linux box.  Using the same rsync command
I'm getting 85 - 90 MB/sec.

That linux box is a 5-year old laptop, where as the windows box is a
pretty beefy box.  (6 cores, 64 GB ram)   Clearly the WIndows box
should be better performing and when running robocopy it is.

So it seems something about the combination of a Windows kernel,
cygwin, and rsync is dropping my performance at least a factor 20% and
maybe as much as 35%.

If I were to run rsync in strace, would anyone want to try and work on
the performance issue?  Or should it just be chalked up to rsync being
optimized for a linux kernel?

Thanks
Greg
