I did not try that option in that the description suggested to
me that -d is applicable to slow networks.  Before I tried
-d, I decided to see what happens.

Interesting.

node11:kargl[214] rsync -av kargl@node10:prj /tmp
...
sent 11970 bytes  received 34071110 bytes  22722053.33 bytes/sec
total size is 34032098  speedup is 1.00
node11:kargl[215] rm -rf /tmp/prj
node11:kargl[216] time cp -R ~/prj /tmp
nfs server master:/home: not responding
nfs server master:/home: not responding
nfs server master:/home: not responding

/tmp is a memory filesystem and /home/kargl is NFS exported.
