I've upgraded from rsync 2.6.9 to 3.0.3 on both ends, but memory usage

Why should rsync 3's memory usage depend on the number of files? Does it keep files it already knows should not be transferred in memory?

If not, then maybe we should hold back rsync's very useful, very speed productive, read ahead of the file list. If we see that the "todo list" piles up, maybe we should hold of the continued scan until the back log gets smaller.

Yes, I know, it's the typical someone sitting on the fence, hardly ever doing anything useful for the project, and dispensing "invaluable" advice. Fact is, I need this. If Wayne doesn't do it, I will get around to it eventually. The problem is that the key word here is "eventually".
