Using emacs tramp vs. rsync for remote development

Tags:

I have been doing some remote development using emacs tramp and found that it was quite slow. Every time I save a file, it takes about 10 seconds to complete the save. So, now I am using rsync to transfer the files remotely and it works much faster, it takes about a second plus the local saves from emacs are instant. Are there any configuration options within tramp to get it to run as fast as rsync does on the command line? Are there any advantages to using tramp instead of rsync even though I am seeing such poor performance?
