As has already been said, the emerge rsync won't actually start the recompile, but the emerge --update world will.
What happens is that Stage1 can have an out of date GCC, and if that's the case, then it'll rebuild basically everything with the new version. I think GCC's been pretty stable for a while now, but moving from 3.1 to 3.2 took a much longer amount of time that I had anticipated. Longer than building the entire system originally, actually. If you download the stage before untarring it, rather than using one that had been burnt onto a CD, this process should be greatly reduced. But I would still expect that the first emerge --update world will take as long as the initial install. I understand your feelings, I wouldn't recommend Gentoo for someone running less than about a p3-500, w/128. I know it can happen on less, but I don't think it's worth the hassle. Especially if the person plans to keep it up to date once it's finished being built.
