I am not sure what 'copy paste' means, but rsync can be used in a 
couple of different ways.  One way is that rsync is writing over NFS 
to the server.  Another way is that rsync communicates via some means 
(ssh, netcat) to another rsync running on the server.  Rsync must 
always query/check to see if/what data is existing while it does the 
copy.

It is useful to see that if you do two copies at the same time if the 
combined rate is much more than 300MB/sec average.
