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.
