Rsync write behaviour / efficiency

Rsync is efficient at transferring diffs across the wire, but how efficient is it at updating the remote file itself (in terms of disk operations)? If, for example, you have a 500MB file (say an ISO) whose modification consists solely of a few bytes added on to the beginning of the file. Will it
