I don't believe that what you are asking for can be done with rsync. At

Rsync does almost everything cp does but since it is designed to network

The current workaround is just for the most active directories.

yeah, i read somewhere that zfs DOES have separate tuning for metadata
and data cache, but i need to read up on that more.
as for heavy block duplication: daily backups of the whole system = alot of
dupe.

For BTRFS I'd suspect the performance penalty to be fairly small. Snapshots can
be done in different ways, and the way BTRFS and (I think) ZFS do it
And what's performance like? I've heard lots of COW systems performance
drops through the floor when there's many snapshots.
