Why is my rsync transfer slow?

As long as it still sees both links it is fine.

Essentially, the way it works is that whenever rsync -H (on the
source) sees a file with a link count >1 it remembers the
inode#>filename pair.  If it finds another instance of that inode it
then links to the same file on the target.  So, if you abort after it
copies one but before it links the other it will still handle it
correctly on the next run.

It just won't handle it if you rsync tree #1 then rsync tree #2.  It
won't see a hard link that is common to both since it wasn't analyzing
them together.
