How are you calling rsync? That's exactly what it doesn't. It only
transfers files that have changed, and only the parts that have changed.
Naturally, it needs to look at each file to see if they are equal or
not, it cannot guess which files are changed. By default this is based
on the modification time (and possibly size, I'm not sure), which is
rather fast.
