How does this time compare to an incremental where few/no files
actually change? You should only do the checksum comparison on fulls
or files where the directory timestamp/length differ on incrementals.
If there is an extreme difference, maybe you are out of available
RAM and pushing the server or target into swap with the size of the
directory contents.
