Subsequent fulls could be even slower.  The client side still has to
walk the directory tree and then read all the content.  The server
side also has to read and uncompress the existing version.  For small
files on a fast network that may take longer than sending the content.
  If you enable checksum caching, after the 2nd full the server won't
have to uncompress and compute the block checksums for unchanged files
but the client still has to read them.    Incrementals should be
faster, though.
