To clarify a little more, trying to do deltas locally doesn't actually
get you anything, because you still have to do all the same disk work on
each end locally even if only deltas were sent over the network. If both
ends are the same machine, generating and reintegrating deltas is just
more cpu work and no less disk work.
You can prove it to yourself by forcing it to do deltas by using
localhost::module/path/to/stuff as either the source or dest and see if
it goes any faster.

Both of your paths are local. In that case rsync forces --whole-file.
The delta transfer is only for reducing network bandwidth usage when
rsync is operating over the network.

Subject: speedup is always 0.99
I'm syncing from a USB disk to my hard disk like this:
rsync -vr /path/to/usb/disk/dir/ /path/to/hard/disk/dir/
But the speedup is always 0.99 which I think means it is just
copying the files each time instead of syncing them. What could be
wrong?
