But with rsync over ssh, that's not very strictly related to
real-world results.   Except in the case of new files, rsync is only
going to send changes that may take little bandwidth but can trigger a
lot of slow disk activity reconstructing the new copy.   And if your
bandwidth is the limiting factor you can add the -C option to ssh for
compression.
