You are passing -I, which makes rsync transfer all regular files every time even if they appear to be identical on source and destination. Rsync does reduce network traffic using the delta-transfer algorithm, but the process still rewrites each destination file in full and uses a bunch of CPU on the sender (especially without the optimized algorithm), so it may take a long time. Consider whether you really need the extra certainty of catching changes afforded by -I. At the least, you could disable -I for rsync runs after the first.
