rsync - May 2009 - rsync-3.0.6 prints file list generation time wrong ???

Hi,

While researching on where rsync-3.0.6 spending more time when we have huge
number of files in directory(~1000K files).  I got below statistics:


2009/05/28 19:05:38 [9660] building file list

. . .

2009/05/28 21:40:09 [9660] Number of files: 724591

2009/05/28 21:40:09 [9660] total size is 63492447862  speedup is 527.40

Total time for synching is around 2.5 hrs ( sent_bytes / XferRate ). Here I
am surprised when I see file list generation time = 0.671 seconds !!!

Does that mean rsync traversed complete 1000k files in 0.671 seconds?

Rsync uses an incremental recursion scan by default, so when that is
active the time mentioned is just for the getting-started part of the
scan.  I've been thinking aobut making the sender time each extra scan
that it does as the incremental scan progresses and add the times up,
but that is not what rsync currently does.
