Can anyone suggest a good way to speed up rsync on really large

few users with inboxes over 1GB and up and it seems to take a very
long time to just compare the files. Maybe it would be faster to copy
from scratch for files over a certain size or something if the time
stamps don't match.

rsync is meant to safe bandwidth, that's the main use of the tool. If
you have enough bandwidth, rsync without options might not be how you
want to use it.
Their is -W for whole files.
