Is there such a thing as anonymous rsync?

They way I have seen it used you have to authenticate to use it.

How about rsync over ssh, does that cause more of a performance hit?

I'm not apposed to opening up rsync to public release of "stuff" on the server,
if the desire is there, the performance hit is not too great, etc...
