May i know why is it you would try it without "a" option in "aI". What difference would it make ?

Actually, in this context RSYNC is used to update a redundant Network Box with the  actual one. Rsync in this context
syncs the configuration files required by the redundant box  which are used on a High Availbility System. So just one file would solve this purpose.

We'll ya i agree 55 is a long time for such a small file.But it still fails sometimes. The actual time taken while done successfully is
nearly 1min 45seconds. These files are actually read and written to flash. That's why it takes so long. The processor used on the 
network boxes are IXP425. Hope this information can hint you to give me some more options.
