I still do not understand what you are proposing; please be more
specific!  Which checksums are you talking about: (1) the whole-file
checksums of destination files used by the -c option to decide whether
to transfer each file, or (2) the block checksums of destination files
used by the delta-transfer algorithm to match blocks, or (3) something
else?  At what point in the process would the cache be read, and at
what point would it be updated?
