Comment (by eschnett):
Simfactory already has "sync --parfiles", which copies only parfiles and is thus much faster.
What about the following idea: Simfactory first uses timestamps to copy files, optimistically assumes that this led to the correct results and begins the build on the remote system, but continues with a full (slower) sync as well. If the full sync exposes a problem, the build is aborted. Otherwise, the build result is accepted.
What is your target system? Would it make sense to set up e.g. DropBox or Google Drive to keep the source tree in sync? These are faster since they begin to copy while you edit, and monitor (via the operating system) which files are being changed.
