I don't think so. The earlier example was contrived by adding a large number of new files right after the full backup, so the incrementals were much slower. And that example was probably network bandwidth limited, rather than server disk or server cpu/memory limited. Your case is more typical: only a modest number of files change for each incremenal, so there is only a minor diffence from using the most recent backup as the reference for an rsync full.
