The --files-from= option may help.
Andrés,
The file gathering delay is a well-known disadvantage of rsync, and
there's no easy way around it. Sorry. --files-from might eliminate
directory reading, but it won't eliminate statting, so I doubt it will
help much. Nick Katsamas requested the feature of "remembering" the
file list a long time ago:
