find finds the new files instantly, whereas cp -auv will sit 
there for 5 mins, presumably comparing file dates at each 
end, before it copies over the new file (or files).

If I have take this list of the new files, and copy them by 
hand, they're copied in seconds. So by pre-selecting only 
the new files, the copy changes from 5mins to about 15secs.

The update is unidirectional. I don't need both ends to talk 
and make sure files are in sync. I just have to copy the new 
files to the remote machine.
