accelerate re-syncing for a large file (>3TB) with rsync

How to accelerate re-syncing large file (>3TB) which got few of its blocks changed (< 1 GB) with rsync.
AFAIK, rsync will do checksum comparison between src/dst blocks to find the differences and then sync them.
Is there a way to increase concurrency at the checksum comparison stage to accelerate the sync ?

How do I use rsync to copy files but keep them compressed

I want to copy files from dir1 to dir2. rsync -avz dir1 dir2/. copies the files after compressing them and then decompresses them in dir2. However, I don’t want to decompress the files in dir2. I want to keep them compressed. How can I do this? I’m using a Linux machine by the way.
