I'm seeing the same thing as Frank, but I just assume that it's normal. Note 
that rsync is *comparing* every file, it still only *copies* the changed data. 
Adding --stats corroborates this.

If I use -vv then, just like Frank, I get

x/y/y1 is uptodate

for each file that's up to date. If I use -ivv, I get

.f x/y/y1

for files that are up to date and similar notations for file/directory 
modifications.

This does add quite a bit of time to my rsyncs. I seem to recall reading about 
various rsync wrapper scripts which people have devised to deal with this.
