It actually does that by default. Though you might need to add to the
list of file types with --skip-compress.

I have an rsync cron job to backup folders that contain many different
types of files. Most of these are uncompressed files, so the -z option
would speed up their transfer. However there are a few files that are
already compressed where -z will just needlessly burn CPU and slow down
the transfer. Is there any way to express something like, "compress all
files except those with extension XXX?" The files are in a proprietary
format so it doesn't make sense to add them to a whitelist in rsync itself.
Thanks,
