Incremental recursion works per directory.
If all those 450.000 files are in one directory, then incremental
recursion won't help.

The number of items isn't the problem because rsync would first have to
find all the files before deciding to use incrmental or not by your
reasoning, which would sort of contradict the purpose of incremental
recursion :-)
