If you don't use the --ignore-times option with rsync it will skip the
checksum comparison on files where the timestamp, length, etc. match.
It should only have to read the directory on both sides if nothing
changes between runs. Be sure you are using options that propagate
the timestamp (like -a) for this to work.
