I tought that the equivalent of --checksum was done each time rsync was launched (that's why it is fast!) If --checksum is off, we could optimize on the base name of a file: tmp/img_1234.jpg on the source machine could be rsync'ed with Vacation/img_1234.jpg, and moved too... I'll install the patch and see if it helps. If not, I'll try to fix it...
